Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a condition in which there is an abnormal thickening of the heart for unknown reasons that can cause sudden death in athletes. Symptoms generally occur during exertion and might include shortness of breath, dizziness, fatigue, chest pain, palpitations and/or fainting. Unfortunately, the first symptom is often sudden death due to severe arrhythmias or fatal heart rhythms.

An Echocardiogram by Sonic Imaging, Inc. is the best
and most affordable method of detecting HCM

Athletes in the prime of their life and career are particularly susceptible to this “Silent Cardiac Killer” that often occurs without any warning following exertion from sports. It is now known that 1 in 500 people are affected. Usual testing does not detect HCM – many athletes have normal EKGs prior to having their fatal event. Learn more>>
HCM can be detected through an effective screening test called an echocardiogram. Our program allows you to have this testing done for all of your team players in your location at a fraction of the usual cost and with minimal inconvenience and down time. Learn more>>
