To parents of middle and high school aged children:
Norcross High School will be sponsoring a heart screening event on campus on April 17th. This screening is open to the public, not just students at Norcross High School. Feel free to forward this email to other family and friends.
This screening will allow students to have a low cost echocardiogram (an ultrasound of the heart) to assess the structure of the heart and determine if there are any abnormalities (for example, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) present that might cause sudden cardiac death. These affordable, noninvasive, and painless echocardiograms are available through UltraScan, Inc. and a program they have established, "Heart Screens for Teens."
Screening will be completed at Norcross High School on Saturday, April 17th from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The charge for the test will be $58, which is a fraction of the cost of a normal echocardiogram ($900-1,500). Each test will be completed by a certified technician utilizing state-of-the-art ultrasound machines. The procedure takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. No medications are required to complete the test and there is no exposure to radiation. Completed echocardiograms are forwarded to a Board Certified Pediatric Cardiologist who will interpret the results, including recommendations regarding the need for further medical assessment by the student's healthcare providers. A written report from the cardiologist will be mailed to each student's parents or guardians approximately 2 weeks from the date of the echocardiogram.
To schedule your appointment for the screening by contacting Kyle Ahrens at kyleca@bellsouth.net or 770-416-1160.
