Teen Athlete Cardiac
Screening at Randall’s
Children’s Hospital
Even teens who seem healthy and have
passed a physical may have heart problems
that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest.
Teen athletes and their parents will learn

may be at risk of an undiagnosed heart con-

Legacy Emanuel’s sixth annual Teen Ath-
lete Cardiac Screening on Saturday, Oct. 20,
at the Adidas Village from 8:30 a.m. to 2
p.m. Preregistration is required at
www.legacyhealth.org/TACS.
The Teen Athlete Cardiac Screening will
serve 500 students from throughout the
Portland metropolitan area ages 13-19 and
only costs families $10 per student.
The Teen Athlete Cardiac Screening pro-
vides heart health and risk assessment that
helps identify whether a teen may be at risk
from an undiagnosed heart condition known
as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) the
leading cause of sudden cardiac death
among young competitive athletes and the
second most prevalent form of heart muscle
disease.
Once diagnosed, this life threatening heart
condition can be treated to minimize its risk.
Recommendations will be made from a
primary care physician or pediatric cardiol-
ogist to those needing further evaluation.
The screening does not take the place of
the medical examination required for all
student athletes participating in a school
sport. For more info go to www.legacy-
