Screening saves young lives — but as technology evolves, we can do more. CRY is investing in a major new AI Screening and Research Project as part of our 2030 Strategic Vision, harnessing AI and machine learning to screen more young people and extend our specialist expertise further than ever before.
“The aim of this comprehensive, up-to-date guideline, which includes numerous authors who are CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) physiologists, cardiac Research Fellows and senior
In the second of our series of ‘research updates’ which focus on the achievements – and vision – of CRYs current Research Fellows, we’re delighted to introduce Dr Mihnea Casian (one of Europe’s most aspiring sports cardiologists) and to officially welcome him to the CRY family!
Firstly Dr Jayaratne, before we chat about the large research project you’re working on with Dr Gati in “Phase 2” of your CRY Research Fellowship
Interview with Dr Harshil Dhutia (Consultant cardiologist, Glenfield Hospital Leicester & Clinical Lead for the Inherited Cardiac Conditions service, University Hospitals of Leicester): CRY’s Research
Profiling the work, research and academic achievements of former CRY Research Fellow, Dr Joyee Basu, who has now returned to Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust where she is working as a final year cardiology registrar and continues to advocate for the benefits of cardiac screening and cardiac rehabilitation to help people with a heart condition get back to regular exercise.
CRY’s Research Fellows – both past and present – spend much of their time writing and submitting manuscripts based on their projects as well as travelling to UK and international conferences to present their key findings and to lead discussions which help to further the understanding of the causes of young sudden cardiac death (YSCD)
The impact of exercise and physical activity on young people living with a heart condition is an issue that often comes up at myheart meetings or is discussed amongst our members
Recently, two important research reviews – spearheaded by doctors who both have an association with CRY’s research programme – have been published in Heart (the journal of the British Cardiac Society) to help ‘unpick’ some of the myths regarding physical activity and inherited heart conditions and to clarify whether exercise really can be the best medicine.
In the medical community around the world, CRY is best known for research. Our research has helped transform our understanding of young sudden cardiac death, the conditions that cause it, and how we can save more young lives. Our Research Fellows have been instrumental in our developments over the years, so we spoke with former CRY
CRY’s research programme has had a huge impact on our understanding of the causes and prevention of young sudden cardiac death as well as the way we treat those at risk.
