I am new to the community. Is anyone taking part as a patient in this research? I am not concerned about my own condition (diagnosed 3 years ago) but I am concerned for my children and grandchildren. How do I volunteer to take part?

Hello and welcome to the forum! DCM is not an abbreviation I knew so for others DCM is Dilated Cardiomyopathy which is a condition in which the heart's ability to pump blood is decreased because the heart's main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, is enlarged and weakened.
