Central High Athletes Receive EKGs

By CS | July 25, 2012

On July 17th and 19th, medical professionals from Jump Start Your Heart and Baton Rouge EMS were at Central High to perform echocardiograms, or EKGs, on CHS athletes. An Echocardiogram is a test of the heart that normally costs $700, but was made available for a $20 registration fee at Central High.

Jump Start Your Heart is a non-profit organization whose goal is to screen young athletes for potentially life threatening cardiovascular conditions, including Hypertrophic CardioMyopathy, or HCM, which is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes. It is a disease of the heart muscle that goes undetected in a normal physical exam.

Thanks goes out to coordinator Allison Porche, Coach Bryan Hutson, and the entire CHS Athletic Department and School Administration for helping make this possible.
