Justin Madder MP gave his support to Cardiac Risk in the Young’s (CRY) campaign for a national strategy to combat young, sudden cardiac death (YSCD) at a recent parliamentary event. He stated:
“Every week, 12 apparently fit and healthy young (aged 35 and under) people in the UK die suddenly from an undiagnosed heart defect. In 80% of these cases, there will have been no signs or symptoms until it is too late. It is important that we establish a national strategy for the prevention of young sudden cardiac death and ensure the government acts to prevent the hundreds of deaths of young people each year from these undiagnosed cardiac conditions.”
