The cardiac charity SADS UK aims to save lives, providing information, funding research and medical equipment to prevent premature sudden cardiac death. SADS UK highlights the fact that young people can be affected by potentially fatal cardiac conditions. SADS UK is one of the founder members of SADS International, a worldwide network of SADS organisations. Providing information and supporting individuals and families affected by cardiac arrest, cardiac conditions or a sudden cardiac death is a very important part of the work of SADS UK.
