Some clinicians have questioned whether ECG screening is worth the cost. It is a fair question, and the answer comes down to one number.

When ECGs are read using criteria built for general populations, false positives can run as high as 30%. That means unnecessary referrals, extra testing, and anxious families.

Read using the International Consensus Criteria, that figure drops to roughly 2%.

CARDEA 20/20® is built on those criteria. Results are always reviewed and confirmed by a clinician.

The map is changing for young athletes.
 
According to our research, Florida’s Second Chance Act made ECG screening part of the sports physical in 2026. Now three more states — South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and New York — have active legislation moving through committee to do the same.
 
This isn’t just policy movement. It’s a higher bar for how we protect young hearts, catching the conditions a stethoscope and questionnaire can miss, before they become tragedies on the field.

When the world’s leading voice in sports cardiology talks about screening young athletes, we listen.
 
Dr. Jonathan Drezner has spent his career working to prevent sudden cardiac arrest in young athletes and he chose Cardea 20/20 for his high school screening work.
 
His words: a false positive rate under 2%, “lower than most standard screening procedures in medicine.”
 
That number matters. The biggest objection to ECG screening has always been false positives — unnecessary follow-ups, sidelined athletes, worried families. An athlete-specific interpretation algorithm built into the device is how you solve it.
 
Fewer false alarms. More hearts screened. A higher standard of care for young athletes.
 
Dr. Drezner’s testimonial was provided prior to his appointment as a compensated Medical Advisor to Cardiac Insight.

A sports physical checks a lot of things. It often cannot catch a hidden heart condition.

This month, Tampa Bay Parenting put youth heart screening on its cover: the new Florida law, why an ECG catches what a typical physical often misses, and one local family’s story of surviving sudden cardiac arrest.

Here is what every Florida parent should know. The Second Chance Act is now in effect, and first-time high school student-athletes need an ECG heart screening before the season starts. It takes less than 5 minutes. It can detect conditions that show no symptoms at all.

Read the full feature in the June issue (link in bio, or search “Tampa Bay Parenting June 2026”).

What happens if the ECG finds something?
This is the question most parents are afraid to ask.
Here’s the answer.

In the vast majority of screenings, results are normal. About 97% of athletes receive a normal result.

If a follow-up is recommended, here is what that typically means: a board-certified cardiologist reviews the result. If additional evaluation is needed, an echocardiogram is usually the next step. In most cases, athletes can continue regular activities while awaiting follow-up.

A flag on an ECG is not a diagnosis. It is information. Finding something early is exactly what the Second Chance Act was designed to do.

Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading medical cause of death in young athletes during exercise.
 
In 80% of cases, there are no prior symptoms. No warning signs. No family history that would have raised a flag.
That’s not a reason to be afraid. It’s a reason to screen.
 
A 5-minute ECG can identify the conditions most likely to cause sudden cardiac arrest before they become a crisis. Florida’s Second Chance Act takes effect July 1, 2026. Find a screening location near you at the link in our bio.

Not all ECG screenings are equal. Here’s why it matters for your child.

With standard ECG interpretation, the false positive rate for athletes can reach up to 30%. That means up to 3 in 10 athletes could be flagged unnecessarily, sent for follow-up testing, and taken off the field while families wait for answers.

CARDEA 20/20® uses the International Consensus Criteria, the interpretation standard developed specifically for athlete hearts by 15 global medical organizations. Its false positive rate is approximately 2%.

The screening matters. So does the tool.

Every year, healthy young athletes collapse on the field from cardiac arrest. Most had no symptoms. Many had conditions they were born with and never knew about.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Long QT syndrome. Wolff-Parkinson-White. These are some of the most common causes of sudden cardiac arrest in young athletes. Most are genetic. Most are silent. And many of them show up on an ECG, if the device knows what to look for.

Here’s the problem with standard ECGs:

They weren’t built for athletes. A trained athlete’s heart works differently than a non-athlete’s, slower resting heart rate, stronger pumping, different electrical patterns. These changes are healthy and expected. But a standard ECG can read them as abnormal and flag the athlete for follow-up.

So one of two things happens:

❌ Healthy athletes get flagged. Pulled from practice. Sent for echocardiograms that come back normal. Weeks of worry for nothing.
❌ Or real warning signs get lost in the noise of normal athletic adaptations.

CARDEA 20/20® was built to fix both problems. It uses the International Consensus Criteria, a screening standard developed by 15 global medical organizations specifically for athlete ECGs. It knows the difference between a heart that’s been trained and a heart that needs help.

This is Martha Lopez-Anderson and her son Sean, who died at age 10 after sudden cardiac arrest while rollerblading.

Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death on school campuses and the number one killer of student athletes.

An estimated 1 in 300 youth has an undetected heart condition that puts them at risk for sudden cardiac arrest, and more than 23,000 children under 18 are stricken annually.

Jay Cardiello lost two sons to sudden cardiac arrest. Not one. Two.

He turned that grief into a mission: making sure no parent has to face what he did. Sudden cardiac arrest in young athletes is detectable. An ECG takes about 5 minutes. Act before the season starts.
