Heart Screenings
Living for Zachary Heart Screening
The “Living for Zachary Heart Screening” is a special screening program created for youth ages 12-22 that can help detect heart abnormalities that may lead to Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
The screening is intended for individuals aged 12 to 22 years. Many of the high-risk conditions this screening aims to identify may not present symptoms or be detectable before age 12. Those over 22 years old should consult their primary care provider for appropriate screening, considering their overall health and medical history.
