Preventing sudden deaths from undiagnosed heart conditions

Early day motion 702, tabled 27 January 2025 by Helen Maguire (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 29 members.

That this House notes with concern that at least 12 young people die each week in the UK from undiagnosed heart conditions, often without symptoms; highlights that these conditions can often be detected through simple electrocardiogram screenings; calls for greater awareness of cardiac health in schools, universities and grassroots sports, where physical activity increases risks; and urges the Government to expand access to diagnostic checks and screenings to prevent avoidable deaths among young people.
