A ground-breaking cardiac clinic is gearing up for
its next screening - and is looking for people who want to be tested.
The facility was established by Cardiac Risk in
the Young (CRY) in 2004 and is one of only a few in the UK.
The initiative in Colchester General Hospital was
established after campaigning by the parents of a 17-year-old Frinton
youngster, Andy Gard, who died from a sudden cardiac death.
The next clinic is at the hospital on January 14
in the morning.
The aim is to detect previously undiagnosed heart
conditions which, if left untreated, can lead to sudden cardiac death.
Anyone between the ages of 14 and 35 can be
tested.
Anyone interested in undergoing the ECG
(electrocardiogram) test is asked to contact 01255 673598 and leave a
message.
