Cascade High School to host heart screening for youth
EVERETT — Cascade High School will host a heart screening event for local youth on April 1 that will allow them to check for serious heart conditions at no cost.
The event is organized by the Nick of Time Foundation, a Mill Creek-based nonprofit that provides heart screenings across the state.
Cardiac arrest is rare in people under 30, according to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute. But in some cases, younger people may have genetic conditions like irregular heartbeats, or problems with the structure of the heart, that can increase the risk of cardiac arrest. (Sudden cardiac arrest is different from a heart attack — a heart attack occurs when blood flow to part of the heart is blocked, sudden cardiac arrest does not occur due to a blockage)
About half of cardiac arrests happen to people who did not know they had a heart problem, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
