NEW! Public Hearts & Cardiac Risk in the Young Screening Day
Having installed 77 publicly accessible defibrillators in and around Cheltenham, addressing preventative cardiac arrest causation is the next step.On Thursday 25 April at The Schoolhouse Cafe in St Paul’s Cheltenham, Public Hearts and Cardiac Risk in the Young made a great start, screening 101 PEOPLE 14-35 IN 1 DAY.
Everyone who joined us aged 14-35 had their heart screened by 12 lead ECG with a CRY ECG Physiologist and their results read confidentially by a Cardiac Risk in the Young consultant cardiologist.
They also received a Public Hearts gift bag with vital CRY heart and Public Hearts defib information.
Raising awareness of sudden cardiac death in young people aged 14-35 is vital as sadly, 12 people in this age bracket die of SCA every week in the UK.This is a first for Cheltenham – an accessible, socially inclusive, funded community heart screening hub and the feedback is immense.
We are raising funds for this and our next screening day. please donate here and share our free Hub incl JustGiving link
