Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) strikes 60 young adults (12-24yrs) each week in the United States. 

Sudden Cardiac Death happens to the “healthiest” and there are often no warning signs.  

A sports physical can detect only 4% of students at risk for SCD.   An ECG can detect 70% of students at risk.

All young adults should have a repeat ECG every 2 years until the age of 24.

An ECG is quick, simple and painless

YH4L (Young Hearts for Life) offers these ECGs for FREE

Young Hearts for Life video contest, supported by the Kathryn Bender Memorial Foundation, has empowered students to encourage peers to take advantage of the opportunity to receive an ECG screening.  The KBMF was established in honor of Kathryn Mary Bender, a 17 year old who passed away suddenly in 2005, from an undetected cardiac condition called Long QT Syndrome.
