A charity’s heart-screening sessions found 11 people with cardiovascular problems over the weekend.
Craig’s Heartstrong Foundation, a charity set up by the Lunt family in memory of 25-year-old Craig who died in 2005 due to an undiagnosed heart defect, hosted the sessions at Noble’s Hospital.
More than 360 people attended to get their heart checked with an electrocardiogram (ECG).
The free appointments were held with Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), a charity that raises awareness of cardiovascular issues in the young and performs screenings to identify problems.
The screenings are held twice every year for 14- to 35-year-olds.
Craig’s Heartstrong Foundation chairman Paul Healey thanked everyone who helped out, adding that the turnout was ‘brilliant’.
The next screenings will be in April next year.
