Description:
The Saving Hearts Foundation at Virginia Tech presents a Free Hokie Heart Screening on the first floor of the New Classroom Building on the campus of Virginia Tech on Saturday, February 1, 2020.

The screening is free and participants must be between the ages of 12-24.

These screenings consist of a 3 step process:
• Preliminary health history questionnaire
• 12-lead EKG
• An echocardiogram if the cardiologists deems it necessary upon reviewing the patient’s health history and EKG

What is a Heart Screening?
• A non-evasive method is used to identify any cardiac anomalies that may lead to Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA)

• EKGs are administered by Saving Hearts Foundation members and the results are reviewed by cardiologists.

• The process generally only takes 30 minutes with barriers in place to respect you privacy.

• Cardiologists may recommend additional follow-up regarding the heart screening results of some patients; however, they are not providing a diagnosis.

Advance registration is available and walk-ins are welcome.

To register in advance, visit: https://www.savingheartsfoundation.com/virginia-tech-blacksburg-campus-february-2nd-2020/.

Male and female screening rooms will be separate allowing for confidentiality and individual privacy to be respected during the screening process.

Saving Hearts Foundation at Virginia Tech is on a mission to prevent Sudden Cardiac Arrest from killing our youth through awareness, education and action. Saving Hearts Foundation provides youth with free preventative heart screenings to check for risk factors that could lead to Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). We also provide young people with CPR/AED training so they may leave our heart screenings more equipped to save a life.
