Who We Play For Heart Screening

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of death on school campuses – more than any form of cancer, concussion or illness combined. Thousands of seemingly healthy kids die every year due to detectable heart conditions.

That’s why Largo Middle School is thrilled to announce that we’ve partnered with Who We Play For to provide our youth the opportunity to get their heart checked with a $20 (with Grant option) electrocardiogram (ECG). The heart screening will take place on Wednesday, March 25, 2026 from 4:15pm - 6:00pm at Largo Middle School.

Every student can sign up for a screening here.

Why take advantage of this electrocardiogram (ECG) heart screening?  

●   This screening will satisfy the Second Chance Act law requirement for student-athletes so they can legally play sports in the 2026-2027 school year.

●   The standard physical is statistically proven to be less than 4% effective at detecting any heart conditions, adding an ECG improves those odds to 80-95%.

●   ECG screening saves lives.

●  ECG screening is non-invasive, painless and takes about 5 minutes.

●   Each ECG will be interpreted by a pediatric cardiologist or cardiologist specifically trained for the heart of an athlete. Results will be returned via email within one week of the screening.

●   An ECG typically costs around $150.

What is Who We Play For (WWPF)?

WWPF represents every young person who lost their life due to a detectable heart condition missed in their physical.

At hundreds of schools across the country, WWPF has screened 400,000+ students and saved the lives of 400+ students, all who had previously undetected life-threatening heart conditions.
