Free Heart Screening for Young Athletes

10/12/2013 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

Free

Championship Hearts will be offering a FREE heart screening for young athletes aged 14-18 on Saturday, October 12th from 9am-1pm at the Cedar Park Regional Medical Center.

Championship Hearts screens young athletes, ages 14-18, for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). Generally, one screening after age 15 is sufficient, unless cardiac symptoms are present. HCM causes a thickening of the heart wall, and can lead to obstruction of blood flow and an erratic heartbeat. It typically does not present any symptoms. HCM is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young people and affects roughly 1 in 500.
