Centre to screen for cardiac risk in young people

The Centre for Cardiovascular Risk in Younger Persons aims to screen a minimum of 1,600 young patients annually, eventually building to 3,000 screenings every year.

The innovative centre is supported by the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) which provides information, education and counselling services. The centre itself received no State money and was funded largely through fundraising and private donors.
