Donate now to save lives
Thanks to donations, we've funded research which has contributed to:
- the improvement of pacemakers
- the use of defibrillators in British ambulances
- making heart failure easier to diagnose.
But heart and circulatory diseases still kill 1 in 4 people in the UK. With your support, we'll keep funding research to improve millions more lives.
