CRY's Research in action

Centre for Cardiac Pathology
CRY's centre for cardiac pathology is not only offering specialist investigations to explain the cause of a young sudden death, they are also helping us to get a better understanding of the conditions and how better to identify them to protect families affected by a YSCD and protect those at risk.
CRY's Research Fellows
Research fellows at CRY not only spend their time researching and publishing new findings to inform and create better practices for the diagnosis and treatment of young sudden cardiac death conditions, they are part of our screening programme, actively offering cardiac screening to young people in the UK to prevent young sudden cardiac deaths.
Causes of YSCD
#CRYResearch into the causes of YSCD has shown 90% of SADS deaths occur when someone is resting or during sleep - 80% of these occur with no prior symptoms.
Treatment
#CRYResearch is changing the way we treat and help young people manage their cardiac conditions
Resources for GP's
CRY provides a number of services that can help General Practitioners support families affected by a young sudden cardiac death; and young people diagnosed with an inherited cardiac condition. These include support services, clinical services and educational resources.
