Heart disease is the most frequent congenital malformation. One child in 100 is born with heart disease. We conduct research to support their life and health. The largest research network on congenital heart disease worldwide involves the collaboration of patients, physicians and investigators.

A Strong Voice for Hearts

Jan Delay supports our research with a notable message.

“I support independent research that actually benefits those who rely on it to survive. Solidary and collaborative research that overcomes boundaries, also in one’s own mind.” Hats off to you for making this possible by being a Register member and research promoter. I’m happy to see you keeping at it.”
