Wimbledon Health Partners Launches Wimbledon Athletics Facebook Page to Address Sudden Cardiac Death in Young Athletes
Boca Raton, Florida (PRWEB) November 25, 2015 -- Wimbledon Health Partners, the industry leader in on-site diagnostic testing for physicians and athletic programs, launches new Wimbledon Athletics Facebook page to educate the public, parents and school athletic departments about the importance of testing young athletes for unsuspected cardiac abnormalities. About 2,000 people under the age of 25 die from sudden cardiac arrest every year. Many of them are young athletes with heart conditions that do not present any symptoms until sudden cardiac arrest actually occurs. Wimbledon Athletics is committed to minimizing sudden cardiac death in student athletes through comprehensive cardiac testing.
Diagnostic tests such as EKGs and echocardiograms are not routinely given to people under the age of 25 unless a problem arises. Thousands of student athletes are playing sports today with undetected cardiac abnormalities that can cause sudden cardiac arrest. Wimbledon Athletics provides on-site diagnostic testing for high schools, colleges and universities across the country, and through its Wimbledon Athletics Facebook page, hopes to motivate schools to proactively test their student athletes and take the necessary course of action before undetected heart conditions can claim more young lives.
