Behind every statistic is a child, a family, a community. . . a tragedy

The Government’s advisors ignored or refused to consider key research papers and reports from CRY. This is shocking. 80% of coroners in the UK refer cases to CRY’s specialist cardiac pathology services after a suspicious young sudden death. CRY supported nearly half of the bereaved families affected by a young sudden cardiac death in the UK in 2014. CRY operates the largest national cardiac screening programme for young people of its kind. Since 1995 it has screened more than 80,000 young people and it now screens more than 20,000 young people a year. CRY is a respected international leader in research into young sudden cardiac death and inherited cardiac conditions.
