Heart Screening Saved This Athlete | Tampa News
Description
A Florida high school athlete, Cameron Crider, discovered he had a life-threatening heart defect—undiagnosed for 15 years—thanks to the new Second Chance Act, which mandates EKG screenings for student athletes. Born with an atrial septal defect, Cameron showed no symptoms despite his intense sports schedule. The simple, painless screening saved his life, and he’s now set for surgery in October with a six-week recovery before returning to the field. His story is a powerful reminder of how crucial these preventative checks are—and why more states should follow Florida’s lead.
