Cardiac Abnormalities
Teens at Risk

Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death among youth, stopping 23,000 young hearts each year. One in 300 youth has an undetected heart condition that puts them at risk. Warning signs and risk factors are often missed or misdiagnosed because typical checkups and sports physicals do not include comprehensive cardiac risk assessment. Medical experts agree that EKGs are the best tool to identify these potentially fatal abnormalities, yet they are not part of our kids’ preventative care—which is why we offer them for free. Screenings are quick, painless and could just save a life.
