We recently found this write-up from a CNN physician’s blog full of good
information. Children under the age of four are just in the beginning of their developmental years. For babies and toddler their sense of balance is anything but astute. Because of this they often fall. All parents understand that falling is second nature to toddlers and for the most part shouldn’t cause undo alarm. But when a fall occurs by a stairwell or a hard sharp surface a more severe injury can occur.
Is there a flaw in the free Safebeat EKG testing being offered to Hillsborough County schools through All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg?
According to an online report, some local medical experts think so.
Cardiologist, Jorge McCormack is exercising caution with the program. In almost 20 years at Pediatric Cardiology Associates, McCormack says he has seen many children who have life-threatening heart conditions, but EKG’s have not revealed their problem. The reason? EKGs won’t detect irregularities of the coronary arteries, the second-leading cause of death in young athletes. Occasionally they’ll pick up on rhythm disorders.
