Heart Screening as a Precaution



With the recent death of Joan Rivers and her outpatient vocal chord procedure the topic of preparedness arises and can benefit all. 

At Living for Zachary we encourage all to be prepared with your health and have your heart screened, especially before you start an activity that could be hard on your heart or a medical procedure. 

With Heart disease many factors can come into play especially when you have a procedure
performed. Anesthesia, reactions to certain types of drugs, blood pressure changes, changes to your heart - all of these can add risk to the equation.

Heart Screening could save your life and the life of anyone, especially before a medical procedure. Changes can occur over the years with your health and your heat so heart screening can benefit anyone, especially youth heart screening

The mission of Living for Zachary is dedication to the awareness of Sudden Cardiac Awareness (SCA) in youth and saving the lives of others through community education and SCA Events. Promoting youth heartscreenings, student scholarships and donating AEDs to youth based organizations is our primary focus. However, we encourage all to have their heart screened, it’s your heart – take care of it and listen to it.
