The BHF's vision is a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases. Heart and circulatory diseases can stop our heart from pumping and our blood from flowing properly.

They can share the same risk factors and one can lead to the other.

That's why the BHF's research starts with your heart, but it doesn't stop there.

They fund research into heart diseases, stroke, vascular dementia, and their risk factors including diabetes.

It's only thanks to support from people like us that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give what you can. Thanks!
