University of Gloucestershire is providing free heart screening to its community of students and staff, and their family members, who may have an underlying heart condition which can often have no symptoms.

As part of its long-running Stop the Heartbreak campaign, the University will hold a heart screening day in collaboration with the national charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY).

According to CRY, which works to reduce the frequency of young sudden cardiac death (YSCD), at least 12 apparently fit and healthy young people aged 35 and under die from undiagnosed heart conditions every week in the UK.
