Georgia Guy, 24, was unaware of a hole in her heart until it was spotted during the screening event last month. About 200 people aged under 35, who did not have a diagnosed heart condition, attended the free two-day free event with about a dozen being identified as having a cardiac issue.She said she had no idea of any pre-existing heart conditions until the screening where she was told she had a hole in her heart "and it's leaking blood"."I've got two very young kids so if I didn't have this done they'd be left without a mother. So it was a bit crazy really.

She said he had an undiagnosed cardiac condition and, since his death, the family had fundraised to provide screening in their area.He said about 12 "apparently fit and healthy young people" were dying from undiagnosed cardiac conditions every week in the UK.
