PEDIATRIC AND
ATHLETIC SCREENING
ARE YOUR CHILDREN HEART HEALTHY?
THE STANDARD SCREENING FOR OUR YOUNG
ATHLETES IS THE EKG. AN ECHOCARDIOGRAM IS ALSO THE STANDARD DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION OF HEART VALVES AND TOTAL HEART FUNCTION.
WHY HAS AN EKG BEEN RECOMMENDED FOR ALL OF CHILDREN PLAYING CONTACT SPORTS?
THE CENTER OF DISEASE CONTROLS ESTIMATES THAT OVER 100,000 CHILDREN DIE EACH YEAR FROM CARDIOVASCULAR INCIDENTS WHILE PLAYING SPORTS.
THIS TEST WILL TELL YOU IF THEIR HEART CAN WITHSTAND THE STRESSES PLACED ON IT.
