How Can I Be Part of the Heart Hive?
The Heart Hive is hosting a new study from Imperial College London to investigate COVID-19 risk for people with cardiomyopathy and how it has affected health and wellbeing.
We're asking people who DO NOT have heart disease to sign-up to help us look at the differences between people with cardiomyopathy and those without heart disease.
We're asking for people who fit this criteria
-
over 18 years old with no personal history of heart disease (you can still join if you have diabetes or high blood pressure)
Joining is easy, and we invite all qualified participants to sign up now. Please select "Healthy Volunteer" on the registration form.
The Heart Hive is primarily a platform for people with cardiomyopathy & those with a family history of cardiomyopathy to take part in research. We expect this will be a one-off opportunity for people without heart disease to take part in the Heart Hive but we may invite you to participate in future studies where a comparison group is needed.
The heart hive is a simple way for patients and researchers to partner together so that research happens faster and tomorrow's cures are discovered sooner.
