| Pre-Participation Cardiac Screening for All Student Athletes in our Communities Causes of Sudden Cardiac Death can be detected with noninvasive testing, thorough screening of family history and of symptoms, and careful recognition of cardiovascular symptoms by coaches, students, and parents. States and school districts are making great progress in cardiac screening at low cost, thanks to community medical care providers, technicians, concerned technology companies, and private grants. |
