   Drive to cut young heart deaths

    BBC News Online (Wales) - 7th January 2005

 

The issue of young people dying from undetected heart conditions is highlighted in a campaign to be launched in Wales on Friday.

The campaign features a postcard bearing the photographs of eight young Welsh people who died unexpectedly from undiagnosed cardiac complaints.

Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) is calling for simple cardiac screening to be made more accessible.

It claims this could prevent hundreds of sudden deaths in the UK every year.

The charity plans to distribute thousands of the postcards and is to ask people to send them to their MP.

Wales is the latest place to take part in the charity's 12-month lobbying tour to highlight sudden cardiac death in the young.
