Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of death on school campuses – more than any form of cancer, concussion or illness combined. Thousands of seemingly healthy kids die every year due to detectable heart conditions.

That’s why 5th Avenue Pediatrics is thrilled to announce that we’ve partnered with Who We Play For to provide our youth the opportunity to get their heart checked with a $20 (with Grant option) electrocardiogram (ECG). The heart screening will take place on Saturday, March 28, 2026 from 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM at 5th Avenue Pediatrics.

● Sudden Cardiac Arrest is the #1 killer on school campuses and in student-athletes.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of death on school campuses – more than any form of cancer, concussion or illness combined. Thousands of seemingly healthy kids die every year due to detectable heart conditions.

That’s why 5th Ave Pediatrics is thrilled to announce that we’ve partnered with Who We Play For to provide our youth the opportunity to get their heart checked with a FREE electrocardiogram (ECG). The heart screening will take place on Saturday, December 6, 2025 from 8:45am - 12pm at 5th Ave Pediatrics.

Why take advantage of this electrocardiogram (ECG) heart screening?

● The standard physical is statistically proven to be less than 4% effective at detecting any heart conditions, adding an ECG improves those odds to 80-95%.

● ECG screening saves lives.

● ECG screening is non-invasive, painless and takes about 5 minutes.

● Each ECG will be interpreted by a pediatric cardiologist or cardiologist specifically trained for the heart of an athlete. Results will be returned via email within one week of the screening.

● An ECG typically costs around $150.

What is Who We Play For (WWPF)?

WWPF represents every young person who lost their life due to a detectable heart condition missed in their physical.

At hundreds of schools across the country, WWPF has screened 400,000+ children and saved the lives of 400+ children, all who had previously undetected life-threatening heart conditions.
