The UK's leading provider of screening in athletes is in town this weekend and offering free heart scans.

CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) will be in Derry on Friday and Saturday to perform ECG tests on anyone of a certain age who takes part in sport of any kind.

Any person aged 14-35 can book to be screened. 

The majority of CRY’s public screening events are funded by CRY supporters or major grants so there is no fee for the person wanting to be tested.

The ECG scans - taking place in Derry's Foyle and Londonderry College on the Duncreggan Road - are crucial in identifying any potential underlying cardiac problems which could cause complications at a stage.

To sign up for a free heart scan, just go and register at http://testmyheart.org.uk.

These specialist are trained and supervised by Consultant Cardiologist Professor Sanjay Sharma, a world expert on young hearts and sports cardiology. Specialism with screening is essential whether you are an elite athlete or enjoy sport recreationally.
