Heart Screenings at CB West
In 2012, our state passed a law called the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Prevention Act. This law seeks to protect student athletes from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) by making parents and coaches aware of the warning signs of the conditions that cause SCA. If your child participates in sports, you read and signed the required information form about SCA. SCA takes the lives of thousands of students every year. It is the #1 cause of death of student athletes.
We are very fortunate that Simon's Fund, a local nonprofit organization that was behind the passage of this law, will be providing free heart screenings for all District students (not just athletes), ages 10 – 19, on Saturday, March 15, at CB West High School. Simon's Fund (www.simonsfund.org) was established in 2005, in memory of Simon Sudman, the three-month old son of Phyllis and Darren. Simon died of a heart arrhythmia that causes sudden cardiac arrest and death.
The screening consists of the following: a medical history form, a physical exam, an electrocardiogram (EKG) exam, and if necessary, an echocardiogram (Echo). This type of screening is not the standard of care so it is most likely not available through your doctor. A heart screening is the best way to detect conditions that lead to sudden cardiac arrest.
Simon's Fund works with most of the medical institutions in the Greater Philadelphia area. They have screened thousands of students and discovered that one out of every 100 students screened has some kind of undetected heart condition.
The screening is intended for students that have never received an EKG exam and are not under the care of a cardiologist. In order for your child to participate in this screening, you will need to register at simonsfund.org and complete a medical history and consent form. Online registration is now open at www.simonsfund.org. A parent or legal guardian must be present at the screening. The screening process takes approximately 30 minutes.
Please visit CB West's Website for additional information.
We hope that you will take advantage of this special opportunity. If you have any questions about the screening, please contact Darren Sudman at darren@simonsfund.org or 610.662.6948.
