Athlete Screening with Cardio-HART
A 6-Minute Test That Could Save a Life
When Tragedy Strikes Without Warning
Behind every name is a family in grief, teammates in shock, and a community left asking: Could this have been prevented?
These weren’t just statistics. These were sons, daughters, friends, teammates.
- Omar Carter (25) – Collapsed mid-match from unrecognised cardiomyopathy.
- Daniel Yorath (15) – Died suddenly despite prior clearance.
- Dillon Quirke – Collapsed and died mid-match, sparking calls for better screening.
- Aidan Zingg (16) – Died of cardiac tamponade misattributed to motocross crash.
- Espoir Missite (16) – Collapsed during training session in Minnesota.
- Jon Devereux (28) – Died during a marathon from suspected cardiac arrest.
- Zeke Upshaw (26) – G League player who died after collapsing on the court.
Most had passed physicals. Many had ECGs. Their conditions were missed.
1 in 2
at-risk athletes remain undetected by ECG.
The Current System
Misses Too Much
- Most athletes who suffer SCD were asymptomatic.
- Most standard ECG screening miss structural abnormalities.
- Echo is better—but seldom available in schools or sports clubs.
That’s why Cardio-HART matters.
It provides echo-level insight to a fast, simple test.
Cardio-HART = ECG + Echo Power—Anywhere
Cardio-HART uses AI and biosignal fusion to deliver:
In <6 minutes, Cardio-HART can detect:
- Hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathies (HCM, DCM)
- Valve diseases (e.g. mitral/aortic regurgitation or stenosis)
- Heart failure risks (e.g. diastolic dysfunction)
- Arhythmias and electrical instability
- Athlete’s heart vs pathological changes
Same ECG-like process. Far deeper insight.
This is how we reduce missed conditions. This is how we reduce risk.
Hope Through Early Detection
Parents want one thing: ‘Don’t let it be my child.‘
Coaches need to ask: ‘Is my team safe?‘
Athletes say: ‘Let me play – but do it safely.’
Cardio-HART answers all three.
For Schools, Teams,
Federations
& Sports Doctors
Suitable for:
- School & university screening programmes
- Elite/professional teams
- Military/occupational performance clinics
- Private cardiology practices or GP-led clinics
Integrate Into Your Programe Easily
- Screen all athletes at pre-season.
- Refer only if Cardio-HART flags risk.
- Track progress over time with digitalised reports.
- Minimise unnecessary echoes or MRIs.
Not Just Olympians: Every Athlete Deserves Real Screening
Professional athletes undergo in-depth cardiac evaluation—echos, MRIs, stress tests.
But school athletes? Often just a questionnaire and ECG.
That’s where tragedy strikes.
Up to 50% of cardiac abnormalities are missed during pre-participation ECG screening alone. [Corrado et al., 2009]
Cardio-HART fills the gap:
- Same simplicity as ECG
- Adds echo-equivalent insights
- No specialist or hospital visit needed
- Results in 6 minutes—ideal for mass screening
Let’s protect all athletes—not just the elite.
Cardio-HART makes prevention possible.
Prevent the Preventable
‘She was tested with an ECG—it wasn’t good enough!‘
Coach, after the loss of a 15-year-old footballer
Good enough is not enough!
Go beyond. All it takes is:
- 6 minutes.
- No pain.
- No hospital.
- No regrets.
