About Cardiac Risk in the Young
Cardiac Risk in the Young works to reduce the frequency of Young Sudden Cardiac Death. We develop and promote heart screening programmes across the country, funded by our supporters, as well as carry out medical research and distribute medical information written by leading cardiologists. We support young people diagnosed with potentially life-threatening cardiac conditions and offer bereavement support to those who have been affected by Young Sudden Cardiac Death.
Every week in the UK at least 12 fit and healthy young people die of undiagnosed heart conditions. With the support of our incredible supporters, we aim to reduce this number and save young lives.
