    Where to have donations sent for *research*?

    My father recently passed away and my brother died 3 years ago of this heart disease.

    Is there any organization to send donations for RESEARCH on this medical condition? American Heart Association seems to have too vague of a scope for any funds donated to be of use there.

    Thank you for your answers.
