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.
