Summary

Floridas new Second Chance Act mandates ECG heart screenings for first-time high school athletes, aiming to prevent sudden cardiac deaths and save young lives. The non-invasive test can detect hidden heart issues missed by regular physicals, as seen in Sara Walters case. She survived a rare inherited condition and now advocates for these screens. Free ECG events are available through BayCare Medical Group in May and June. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
