Preventing Young Sudden Cardiac Death through Screening in Schools and Sports Clubs
At Teen Heart Project, our mission is to prevent Young Sudden Cardiac Death (YSCD) through increased awareness and proactive screening. We believe that every young person deserves the chance to lead a healthy life, free from the risks associated with undiagnosed heart conditions.
Our Screening Services
We provide heart screening clinics for young people across the UK focussing on schools and sports clubs, ensuring that young athletes and students have access to essential heart health screenings. While major UK sports and dance authorities recommend ECG screening for their participants we believe all teenagers should have access to cardiac screening.
“Every week in the UK 12 fit and healthy young people die of undiagnosed cardiac conditions”
By comparison, every week seven 17–29-year-olds die in UK road accidents (UK Gov, 2023)
Partnering with Schools
We partner with schools and colleges across the UK to promote heart health awareness.
Connecting With Youth Sports Clubs
In addition to schools, we also work with youth sports clubs with teams aged 16 to 18. The organization’s leads and coaches play a crucial role in supporting the sign-up of parents and guardians for our services
