CRY
holds ECG screening clinics for those aged 14 to 35 at a number of
established locations
around the UK including Belfast, Cardiff, Colchester, Liverpool and London (click here for
clinic addresses). The CRY mobile screening unit
facilitates various screening events at other locations
in the UK - often organised by CRY supporters.
What is an ECG test?
An
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test which looks at the electrical conduction
pathways around the heart. Small stickers known as electrodes are placed on
the client's chest and the wires from the electrodes connected to an ECG machine whilst you lie
still.
A
printout of the heart's electrical activity is obtained for evaluation by the
cardiologist. This test is painless, non-invasive and takes just a
few minutes to perform (click here for more
screening information).

Everyone who is screened by CRY also helps to
further CRY's research efforts -
increasing our understanding of the conditions and ultimately helping to
reduce the number of young sudden cardiac deaths.
Philips have donated advanced medical equipment that will enable CRY to gain greater
research results with their screenings whilst reaching more young people
than ever before.
