Tina Amiss

Trustee

Tina is a chartered physiotherapist, having worked in both the NHS and private healthcare for the past 31 years. She was diagnosed with Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) in 1994 and received an ICD in 2002. Whilst she now leads a very active and full life and does not allow her diagnosis to hold her back, this has not always been the case. She particularly struggled with the emotional aspect of coming to terms with such an unexpected life change.  

As a trustee of Cardiomyopathy UK, her wish is that all of those with cardiomyopathy receive the specialist care they need.
