Cardiac Risk in the Young is a UK-based charity that aims to prevent young sudden cardiac deaths through awareness, screening, and research, and to support affected families. The organization offers subsidized ECG and echocardiogram screening to all young people between the ages of 14 and 35, and provides emotional and clinical support following a young sudden cardiac death. Cry's research program gives them unique access to general population-based data, enabling comparisons between athletes, ethnicities, and gender. The British company was founded in 1995 by Alison Cox.
