AI-assisted screening could make screening more cost-effective & make screening more accessible to more young people.

That's the goal of CRY's AI Cardiac Screening & Research Project.

For 30 years, CRY has been working to prevent sudden cardiac death in young people through screening, research, support, and awareness.

Young people deserve a National Strategy for the Prevention of Young Sudden Cardiac Death. Write to your MP today.

12 young people die every week in the UK from undiagnosed heart conditions. That's over 600 young people every year — and most of them had no idea anything was wrong. Sudden cardiac death in the young is not rare. Cardiac screening can change that. #12AWeek #HeartMonth

Did you know most MPs hold regular constituency surgeries? This is YOUR chance to speak to them face-to-face about signing the pledge and supporting the petition for cardiac screening at age 14. Check your MP’s website for surgery times. Bring our letter template and share why these matters to you.

The number of young sudden cardiac deaths is significantly under-reported. We need a coordinated National Strategy based on accurate data and consistent guidelines. Only 56 MPs have signed the pledge. Let’s change that. www.c-r-y.org.uk/help-us-save-young-lives-this-heart-month/

The petition calling for cardiac screening at age 14 was created by Gill and Stephen Ayling in memory of their son Nathan. Their advocacy honours Nathan’s memory & all those lost to a #YSCD and could save countless young lives.

1 in 300 people screened by CRY will have a potentially life-threatening heart condition. A simple ECG can identify these hidden conditions before it’s too late. That’s why we need cardiac screening for all young people from the age of 14. #SignThePetition & ask your MP to take action. #HeartMonth
