1. Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) takes the lives of 6 children in the United States every week. This simple screening identifies over 90% of cardiac conditions causing SCD.
2. Most incidents of SCD occur in seemingly healthy children. This screen may identify life-threatening conditions early enough for your physician to take action.
3. A standard doctors visit has a 3-6% detection rate of SCD compared to 90% with the Cardiac Life Screen.
4. If you have ever been told you have a heart murmur, this screen will determine if it is a problem.
5. SCD conditions are treatable if detected.

What is Cardiac Life Screen?
Cardiac Life Screen is an echocardiogram and an EKG tailored for athletes. An echocardiogram uses sonar as a non-invasive way to view the heart. It is the same technology used by the nations leading heart care specialists and remains the best available tool for screening hearts. The Cardiac Life Screen echocardiogram is compliant with the latest echo guidelines from FIFA, the international governing body for soccer.
EKG is a standard tool that has been used for many years to help detect electrical abnormalities in the heart. The European Society of Cardiology and the International Olympic Committee recommend all athletes to receive an EKG.
