OUR WHY
Sudden Cardiac Arrest is the #1 killer on school campuses
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 The Gershfeld & Shakirov Foundation for Youth Development 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 an electrocardiogram (ECG).
The heart
screening will take place on Saturday May 10, 2025 from 10am-2pm at 201 Triple
Diamond Blvd, North Venice, FL
Why Take Advantage of ECG?
● 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 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.
