Electrocardiogram (ECG) heart screening
Parents,
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of death on school
campuses – more than any form of cancer, concussion or illness
combined. Thousands of seemingly healthy kids die every year due to
detectable heart conditions.
That’s why Lemon Bay is thrilled to announce that we’ve partnered with
Who We Play For to provide our youth the opportunity to get their heart
checked with a FREE electrocardiogram (ECG). The heart screening will
take place on 2/24/2025 from 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM at Lemon Bay.
Every student can sign up for a screening

Why take advantage of this electrocardiogram (ECG) heart
screening?
● The standard physical is statistically proven to be less than 4%
effective at detecting any heart conditions, adding an ECG improves
those odds to 80-95%.
● ECG screening saves lives.
● ECG screening is non-invasive, painless and takes about 5 minutes.
● Each ECG will be interpreted by a pediatric cardiologist or
cardiologist specifically trained for the heart of an athlete. Results will
be returned via email within one week of the screening.
● An ECG typically costs around $150.
What is Who We Play For (WWPF)?
WWPF represents every young person who lost their life due to a
detectable heart condition missed in their physical.
At hundreds of schools across the country, WWPF has screened 250,000+
students and saved the lives of 200+ students, all who had previously
undetected life-threatening heart conditions.
