Cardiac Testing
Every week in the UK 12 young people die from undiagnosed cardiac problems during sport.
The IOC advise all people competing in sport to have cardiac tests to rule out some of these conditions.
The ASA England Talent Development Programme will be testing their National Level 3 swimmers in Coventry on Saturday 17th September 2011.
This will be at the
Days Inn Hotel, 80-90 Holyhead Road, Coventry,CV1 3AS.
We have some spare capacity and are able to offer testing for athletes from all aquatic disciplines.
Each test will involve a questionnaire, consultation with cardiac consultant and an ECG. If the ECG shows problems further testing (Echo Cardiogram) will be performed.
The test costs £35. This is considerably cheaper than a private ECG.
If you would like to book a test on the 17th September please book your place on the CRY website using the link below:
