Most athletes show no symptoms before a cardiac event. While rare, sudden cardiac death has a devastating and public impact. Standard sports physicals often miss the most common risks—leaving parents with false reassurance. At Young Heart Group, we want to screen young athletes to protect them and offer peace of mind to the athlete and their family.
