With your help, we can continue to improve the treatment of heart disease throughout Norfolk.

If you, a member of your family or a friend have been treated for heart disease at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, there is a good chance that the equipment has been donated by the Norfolk Heart Trust.

There are lots of different ways that a heart can go wrong, which is why heart disease is the single biggest cause of death in the UK every year.

Common problems include angina, heart failure, heart attack, abnormal heart rhythms and congenital heart disease (those that you are born with). The Norfolk Heart Trust's aim is to improve the quality and quantity of life for sufferers of all these conditions, making sure that they can be treated close to home, friends and family in an environment that is friendly and supportive.

To achieve this, we have run several fundraising campaigns, more details of which are below. This has allowed us to buy equipment such as heart scanners, ECG machines and monitors, as well as provide specialist training for doctors, nurses and other health professionals in the field of cardiac care.
