Our support groups are an opportunity to find out more about cardiomyopathy and meet others with the condition. We offer both in-person and online groups which enjoy regular meetings, often with expert speakers and social activities.
All of our groups are open to people with a diagnosis of cardiomyopathy or myocarditis as well as friends, family and loved ones. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with the condition for some time, our groups are here for you.
