That this House commends the invaluable and life-saving work being carried out by both Clarissa’s Campaign and Cardiac Risk in the Young; welcomes the major research paper produced by researchers based City St George's, University of London and St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; notes their call for repeat electrocardiogram tests in order to identify potentially life-threatening conditions; raises the importance of this report given the statistics that 12 young people die each week due to an undiagnosed heart condition; recognises that researchers report that 40% of those diagnosed with a heart condition during the study went on to receive significant risk-reducing interventions such as heart-transplants with others offered non-clinical treatment pathways to reduce their risk of ill-health; and highlights the importance of this study and campaigns to raise awareness about cardiac risk in the young to save lives.
