In an effort to give student-athletes, parents and coaches a little peace of mind, Ingham Regional Medical Center has established a free comprehensive heart screening program for tri-couty area athletes. Cardiologists from the Ingham Cardiovascular Group have organized several screening days throughout the spring where local high school athletes can receive a free screening to identify potential heart conditions and abnormalities.
The noninvasive screening includes a blood pressure check, an electrocardiogram (EKG) to evaluate teh heart's electrical activity and a review of test results by an Ingham Cardiovascular Group cardiologist. In some cases, an echocardiogram- or ultrasound of the heart- may also be performed.
