WHAT IS A CONCUSSION?
“A concussion is a type of brain injury that changes the way the brain normally works. A concussion is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head. Concussions can also occur from a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. Even what seems to be a mild bump to the head can be serious. Concussions can occur during practices or games in any sport or recreational activity.”-WI Department of Public Instruction adapted materials from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention-
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF A CONCUSSION
“Unlike a broken arm, you can’t see a concussion. Most concussions occur without loss of consciousness. Signs and symptoms of concussion can show up right after an injury or may not appear or be noticed until hours or days after the injury. It is important to watch for changes in how you are feeling, if symptoms are getting worse, or if you just ‘don’t feel right.’ If you think you or a teammate may have a concussion, it is important to tell someone.”

Helping Every Athlete Receive Their Screening
CHAMPION HEARTS
♥As a parent, your number one priority is the health and safety of your child. Routine check ups with your family doctor and pre-participation sports physicals allow you to achieve this priority and develop peace of mind.
♥ However, there is a growing concern throughout the country involving sudden cardiac arrest among high school student athletes. A heart condition known as Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes and is estimated to effect 1 in 500 people.
CHAMPION HEARTS
♥Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is a congenital cardiac condition that causes excessive thickening of the heart muscle usually during adolescence.
♥ The American Heart Association reports 36% of young athletes who die suddenly are likely to have HCM.
♥In January of 2012, a 17 year old Grafton high school boys basketball player collapsed and died while at practice due to Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy . The family was unaware their son had this condition. He had passed his health physical exam and was cleared to play sports.
♥Champion Heart’s mission is to provide outstanding service to communities by aiding in the diagnosis of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and other heart abnormalities through a non-invasive echocardiogram screening.
CHAMPION HEARTS
♥An echocardiogram, often referred to as an ultrasound of the heart, uses sound waves to produce an image of the heart which can be utilized to diagnose or rule out HCM.
♥ A highly-trained and certified technologist will perform the exam to record the thickness, size, and function of the student’s heart.
♥ These images will then be interpreted by a board certified cardiologist and reported to the parents of the student via a written report.
CHAMPION HEARTS
♥Unless your doctor determines that you have a specific problem or have a genetic history of HCM, most insurance companies will not perform an echocardiogram for screening purposes.
♥ Champion Hearts offers a limited study designed to screen solely for HCM and other abnormalities.
♥ In this way, your out-of-pocket cost is greatly reduced. And because we are portable, screening can be done at your school rather than an unfamiliar location.
CHAMPION HEARTS
♥Date of Screening: Thursday, November 8th
♥ Time: 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
♥Location: Whitnall High School
♥Length of Test: Approximately 10 minutes
♥Screening Fee: $35
CHAMPION HEARTS
♥For more information and sign up please visit the Champion Hearts table located outside of the auditorium when your individual team meetings conclude
♥By scheduling a screening, you can further ensure your child’s safe participation in competitive sports
♥Thank you
