ATTENTION STUDENT ATHLETES!!!
Free cardiac screenings for young athletes will be held on Saturday, February 2, 2019 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset (RWJUH) Family Practice,110 Rehill Avenue in Somerville.
RWJUH Somerset cardiologists, nurses and technicians will conduct the cardiac evaluations for children ages 14 to 18, which include a cardiovascular history and physical exam; blood pressure screening; body metrics; an electrocardiogram. In addition, an echocardiogram can be performed if indicated. Results will be given to students to share with their personal physicians.
Sudden cardiac death affects an average of 1 in 100,000 student athletes nationwide each year. The screenings look for major abnormalities known to cause sudden cardiac death (SCD), such as cardiac arrest. SCD is an unexpected death caused by ventricular fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm from the lower chambers of the heart) and is almost always fatal.
For an appointment time call 908-685-2414. Or visit RWJUH's event website for more information: bit.ly/RWJUHCS.
