Each ECG heart screening is interpreted by a pediatric cardiologist or cardiologist volunteering to serve on HITG's Medical Advisory Team. These are national experts specifically trained on how to read ECG heart screenings for athletes based on the International Criteria.
Students must be 10 - 23 years old to participate in our heart screening program.
Due to COVID-19, each participant will be required to wear a mask while being screened. If you have a temperature of 100 degrees or answer yes to any of the COVID-19 safety questions, we will have to turn you away and encourage you to see your doctor.
