Student Athlete Heart Screen
Metro Health will be offering a limited number of free heart screens to area high school athletes on Saturday, March 16 at Metro Health Cascade from 8 am to 12 noon. Appropriate for athletes who are 14 – 18 years old, these cardiovascular screenings attempt to identify pre-existing heart conditions which may place an athlete at increased risk of disease progression or even sudden cardiac death, as well as other heart abnormalities that are important for athletes to be aware of.
The screening includes a free EKG and ECHO, if required based on the EKG results. Both of these tests are pain-free examinations of the heart that take only a few minutes to complete. A Certified Cardiologist will read the results of these tests and any unusual findings will be reported to you during the screening for follow up with your own physician.
Appointments can be made between the times of 8am – 12 noon. Reservations are required as space is limited.
