Sudden Cardiac Arrest is the leading cause of death in exercising young athletes.
Many have an undiagnosed heart abnormality with no symptoms until death.
Nick of Time, UW Medicine and SCH, help communities, by offering ON-SITE heart screenings for students as a way to promote awareness of undiagnosed heart disease.
A thorough family history and physical examination that includes an ECG and/or ECHO.
Approximately 2% of youth that are heart-screened are diagnosed with a life threatening heart abnormality or concern. We will be facilitating a screeing at Redmond HS on 10-5-11.
