Support

Following a young sudden cardiac death CRY offers help to families through our bereavement support programme, as well as helping families to understand what caused the death and to be referred to inherited cardiac conditions specialists.

Awareness

Awareness not only helps identify those at risk, but also ensures correct clinical practice when treating a young person with an inherited cardiac condition.

#12AWeek

Screening

CRY wants All young people to have the opportunity to have heart screening. 1 in 300 people CRY tests will have a potentially life threatening heart condition which will benefit from lifestyle advice, treatment and sometimes corrective surgery.

Research

CRY funds world leading research which is transforming our understanding of the causes and prevention of Young Sudden Cardiac Death as well as the treatment of those at risk.

Cardiac Screening

CRY offers subsidised ECG and Echocardiogram screening to all young people between the ages of 14 & 35. There is a simple way to diagnose most cardiac abnormalities. This is by having an ECG (electrocardiogram) test. Results should be read by a cardiologist. For extra clarity an Echocardiogram (ultrasound scan) can also be done.If there has been a young (under 35) sudden death in the family, the family is entitled to be screened on the NHS. All of CRY’s public events are free to attend.
