An electrocardiogram (ECG) screen, also known as an EKG, can help identify young athletes who are at risk for sudden cardiac death, a condition where death results from an abrupt loss of heart function. An ECG screening may assist in diagnosing several different heart conditions that may contribute to sudden cardiac death. The School Boards of Orange, Seminole, and Volusia County, Florida are requiring each student athlete wishing to participate in high school athletics to have 1 ECG screening prior to participating in his or her first athletic sport in high school. The initial ECG may be completed by any licensed physician, including a primary care physician, pediatrician, licensed physician assistant, or certified advanced registered nurse practitioner. If the ECG comes back ABNORMAL, the student may only participate after being cleared by a cardiologist or a pediatric cardiologist.
