Its a scary time at the moment, People are just passing away with no warning and leaving many families devasted.

Each week in Ireland, one person under the age of 35 passes away from Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndromes (SADS).

The Mater’s Family Heart Screening Clinic screens families at risk of these inherited genetic conditions.

The clinic was set up with funding from the Mater Hospital Foundation to help families.

Sadly, many families only become aware they may be at risk, after losing a family member.
