National Youth Heart Screening Day
USA Health Strada Patient Care Center Mobile, AlabamaNational Youth Heart Screening Day is a Call-to-Action: Every Kid. Every Heart. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) strikes 23,000 youth each year affecting many with undiagnosed heart conditions that are found in 1 in 300 seemingly healthy children and young adults. Typical well-child checkups and preparticipation physical evaluations miss up to 90% of youth at risk. Our goal is to amplify awareness about the reality of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in children and young adults, the importance of heart screenings for early detection of risk factors that may lead to sudden cardiac arrest/death. Also, knowing how to recognize and respond to a cardiac emergency by performing hands-only CPR and using an automated external defibrillator (AED) to increase the chance of survival from sudden cardiac arrest. National Youth Heart Screening Day will impact an estimated 10,000+ youth across 15 states.
