South Brunswick High School will hold a cardiac screening for young adults/athletes on Sept. 25 at the nurse’s office of the high school
The cost is $70 per student and includes an EKG and ECHO test. Students must bring a complete parent/guardian consent form and payment to the athletics office before Sept. 22, at which time a screening appointment will be made.
Parents/guardians will receive a copy of the EKG for a baseline and will have the opportunity to meet and talk to a cardiologist.
Sudden death in athletes is an extremely rare event, yet no less tragic for its infrequency. Most of these deaths are due to underlying cardiovascular diseases and therefore categorized as sudden cardiac death.
