Screening Process with CRY

Patients book in advance through the TestMyHeart website and will receive regular reminders about the event and their pre-booked time. On arrival you are checked-in and asked to take a seat until a qualified ECG nurse is available.

Your height and weight will be checked and then each patient has an Electrocardiogram (ECG), which looks at the electrical conduction pathways around the heart. Small stickers known as electrodes are placed on the client’s chest and the wires connect to an ECG machine whilst you lie still.

A printout of the heart’s electrical activity is obtained for evaluation by the cardiologist. This test is painless and non-invasive. It takes only a few minutes to perform with the client lying down on a couch or bed.

Of the 3,412 young people screened to date, around 100 had an additional ultrasound of the heart at the screening.

Jamie’s Fund screened 3,412 young people across the ten year period from 2016-2026.
