Cardiomyopathy & genetic haemochromatosis

7 Oct 2026

This booklet is for people with genetic haemochromatosis who have developed cardiomyopathy as a result of iron overload.

Cardiomyopathy is a heart condition where the walls of the heart muscle are thicker than usual.

This guide has been developed in collaboration with our friends at Cardiomyopathy UK, who run a specialist cardiomyopathy helpline.

This guide can be included in our membership pack upon request - join now!
