By entering the necessary information, a parent/guardian is granting their child permission to participate in the Rhythm Of Our Youth Cardiac Screening in which their child will receive an electrocardiogram. An electrocardiogram (also known as EKG or ECG) is a non-invasive test that measures the electrical activity of the heart and can detect certain heart abnormalities leading to sudden cardiac death. A child’s participation in the Rhythm Of Our Youth Cardiac Screening is intended to identify heart abnormalities which may affect their health during physical activities. Additional information is available on the hospital website. Questions can also be directed to Mr. Stafford, Coal City High School Principal at [email protected]
