I suppose, as a parent, that\u2019s sort of your worst nightmare.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Paget attended a screening in Hull organised by charity <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c-r-y.org.uk\/\">Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY)<\/a>. Appointments went live at four o&#8217;clock three weeks before the session. By five past, they were all gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: \u201cThat\u2019s how desperate people are to get on and get children screened, and clearly how few appointments are actually available.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to CRY, 12 fit and healthy young people under the age of 35 die from undiagnosed cardiac conditions every week in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While individuals aged 40 to 74 and families affected by a young sudden cardiac death are eligible for a free ECG heart screening on the NHS,<strong> <\/strong>young people have no access to these free services.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, parents turn to groups like CRY which offers screenings to about 30,000 young people between the ages of 14 and 35 each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite CRY&#8217;s efforts to screen thousands of young people annually, many still face long waits and the need to travel long distances for a screening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to CRY&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c-r-y.org.uk\/bbc-breakfast-profiles-crys-call-for-a-national-screening-programme-as-its-waiting-list-for-heart-testing-exceeds-105000\/#:~:text=The%20start%20of%202025%20has,interested%20in%20booking%20a%20screening\">2025 statistics<\/a>, demand for ECGs is \u201cexponentially outstripping capacity\u201d with the waiting list now exceeding 105,000.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Steven Cox, CEO of the organisation, said: \u201cIn Italy, where people are routinely tested every year from a young age, they show an 89% reduction in sudden deaths.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have the luxury of routine screening in the UK, so our priority is for everyone to be screened at least once from the age of 14.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CRY-screening-2-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-73297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CRY-screening-2-980x652.jpg 980w, https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/CRY-screening-2-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Cardiac Risk in the Young <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Charities are working with CRY to help them provide screenings to as many young people as possible, but they say it&#8217;s not enough without government support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Becky Bristow, general manager of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dillonquirkefoundation.com\/\"> the Dillon Quirke Foundation<\/a>, a charity that screened 10,000 14 to 17-year-olds in sports clubs around Ireland this year, said: \u201cThe biggest issue is the national health service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey would have to find a way to pay for the screenings and they have way bigger priorities, so we are campaigning for major sports bodies to make screening mandatory for their players.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The foundation was launched by the parents of 24-year-old sports player, Dillon Quirke, who suddenly died of an undiagnosed heart condition on the pitch.
