CRY strives to prevent these tragedies through:
Our National Screening Programme
Funding medical research into young sudden cardiac death (YSCD)
Developing the CRY Centre for Inherited Cardiovascular Conditions and Sports Cardiology
Raising awareness of the risk of undetected cardiac conditions in young people, and conditions that can cause YSCD
CRY supports young people diagnosed with life-threatening cardiac conditions through:
Our Surgery Supporters Network, which provides peer support and an opportunity to raise questions with one of our cardiologists
and those affected by young sudden cardiac death by:
Offering a fast-track expert cardiac pathology service through the CRY Centre for Cardiac Pathology
Providing a Bereavement Support Service, offering counselling to those who have suffered a loss
Providing information and literature free of charge
