Sometimes, the first clue is not a symptom, but a story. A parent who developed heart problems unexpectedly… a relative who struggled with unexplained chest pains… a sudden, premature death that no one fully understood.

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle ❤️ that affects the heart’s ability to pump blood around the body. It can affect people of all ages and can develop for different reasons but is often passed down genetically 🧬.

For many people, the warning signs of cardiomyopathy come from the patterns that exist across generations 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, in their own family tree. Understanding these patterns can help you ask new questions, identify potential risks and take action earlier.

Talk to your family about their heart health. If something doesn’t feel right, speak to your doctor about what it could mean for you 🩺. Think Cardiomyopathy. Know Your Heart History.

June is Cardiomyopathy Awareness Month ❤️, led by the Cardiomyopathy Patient Network at Global Heart Hub — the international alliance of heart patient organisations.

Did you know your heart health and oral health have a direct impact on each other❓

While it may be tough getting your little one to brush their teeth, it is important for their heart health! Bacteria from your mouth can spread to the bloodstream, increasing risk of conditions like endocarditis and atherosclerosis🦷

Today and every day make sure you practice good oral hygiene so you can keep your heart and your mouth healthy and happy❣️

Facing a child’s heart surgery can be scary, and doing it far from home is even harder.

At Mended Little Hearts, we are here for you each step of the way. That's why we created our bravery bag program to support patients and families during their hospital stay. Each bag includes fun items, educational resources, and essentials to ease a stressful hospital stay and, most importantly, reminds and their families that they're not alone.

This program is funded entirely by community donations. Your generosity helps us pack and distribute these bags to more hospitals nationwide.

A recent CDC-supported study examined school readiness among preschool-aged children with congenital heart conditions using data from the National Survey of Children's Health (2022-2023).

The study found that more than one-third of children with congenital heart conditions were not developmentally on track for school readiness.

These findings highlight the importance of early developmental screening, referral to services, and access to supportive resources to help children with congenital heart conditions prepare for school.
