This is only one of many genetic heart conditions that can lead to Sudden Cardiac Arrest, in our children. That is why you need to know your family's heart history and why our children's hearts should be screened before participating in sports. Florida just mandated this year that children have to have EKG's before they can play sports.

When SCA happens, the person collapses and doesn’t respond or breathe normally. They may gasp or shake as if having a seizure. Don’t let this mislead you to waste time trying to “wake them up.” Their heart has stopped and they are not breathing so they need immediate CPR and a shock from an AED. parentheartwatch.org/call-push-shock/

SCA is the leading cause of death among young athletes. When every second counts, be prepared to save a life. Call 911, start CPR and use an AED.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest is a leading cause of death among young, with an estimated 23,000 being lost each year. Yet, there is a dangerously low awareness about how to recognize it and what to do when it happens. 1 in 300 has an undetected heart condition that puts them at risk for SCA. But unlike other tragedies, we have the power to prevent one more youth from dying. Make your time to learn how.
