The group moved from St George's Hospital to the Heart Hospital, UCLH in 2003. The aim of the group is to establish a national centre for inherited cardiovascular disease in the young, targeting cardiomyopathic disease (DCM, HCM and ARVC), heart failure and sudden death in the young. The group also includes a comprehensive cardiac arrhythmia service, run by a team of electrophysiologists. Specialist clinics are run at the Heart Hospital supported by nurse-counsellors and underpinned by a developing clinical genetics service, with the aim of implementing DNA diagnosis into clinical practice. The group is funded by a number of British Heart Foundation grants and is involved with various research projects and clinical trials.
