In addition to supporting and advocating for families affected by Acquired and Congenital Heart Defects, It’s My Heart feels that it’s vital to support certain research projects related to Congenital Heart Defects. It’s My Heart recognizes that outside of the billions of dollars needed to make a difference, researchers are also in need of subjects (people). This means YOU can make a difference! Your help and participation is priceless and something money cannot buy. Without information from individuals affected by Congenital Heart Defects, researchers sometimes cannot move forward on current research projects or worse some research may not even begin. Please consider participating and keep checking back for updated projects that pertain to you. Not all projects require you live nearby, but they may or may not include a means for you to participate wherever you are.

We aim not to only notify people about certain research projects that they could be involved but also as a means for researchers to collaborate on certain projects.  There are times where researchers could be working on certain projects and not know that another researcher is working on a similar project in another state or country.  We hope this addition will aid all Congenital Heart Defect research by connecting those involved in medical research.
