Rated the #1 Youth Heart Screening Program

WHY

My-HeartCheck was designed with the help of the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins, providing the most thorough youth heart screening program available.

My-HeartCheck’s mission is to improve outcomes for children born with heart defects, estimated to be over 40,000 annually (1 in 100). While initial efforts to screening babies at birth have improved over the years, many conditions are still missed and some only develop as kids grow into their teens.

Over 12,000 kids have received a HeartCheck. Don’t let yours be the one we miss.

SCHEDULING

We partner with physicians, schools and other youth organizations to provide our testing from their facilities. Not having multiple offices of our own, spread out around the country, is one of the ways we save you money!

From our scheduling page

Step 1 Choose your state

Step 2 Select any date/location that works with your schedule

Step 3 Select appointment times for each person you’re scheduling

Step 4 Provide Parent/Guardian information AND patient information for each appointment being made

Step 5 Complete payment for appointment(s)

COST

For only $149, your child will receive the same tests that cost in excess of $1,500 if done in the hospital.

We realize that even this greatly reduced price is still tough for some families to afford. We and our non-profit partners are committed to ensuring no one is left out due to cost and offer financial assistance for families that qualify. You can see if you qualify here.

We are not able to accept any health insurance but you are welcome to use your HSA or FSA account.

TESTING

My HeartCheck is available to anyone age 8 to 25
Appointments take approximately 30 minutes and are completely painless

ALL HEARTCHECKS INCLUDE:

ECHOCARDIOGRAM The echocardiogram (Echo or heart ultrasound) is done to properly assess the heart’s structure and function. This includes heart muscle abnormalities, valve function, coronary artery anomalies, and look for potential aortic root disorders. According to the Mayo Clinic, the echo is the “Gold Standard” in evaluating the structure of the heart.

EKG The 12-lead electrocardiogram (EKG) is performed to assess the electrical system that keeps the heart beating. Certain conditions like Wolff-Parkinson-White and Long QT syndromes are common abnormalities that are more readily uncovered by the EKG.

BLOOD PRESSURE High blood pressure in children and adolescents is a growing health problem that is often overlooked. Blood pressure often has no symptoms. The younger a child is, the more likely it is that the high blood pressure is caused by a specific and identifiable medical condition. Older children can develop high blood pressure for the same reasons adults do — excess weight, poor nutrition, and lack of exercise. Over time, if untreated, it can cause health conditions, such as heart disease and stroke.

Each patient also completes a HEALTH & FAMILY HISTORY FORM to accompany all tests.

RESULTS

All exams are reviewed by Board Certified Pediatric Cardiologists, with results returned to the patient’s parent/guardian, as well as sent to their personal physician as requested. If any abnormalities are identified, the participant is instructed in the report, and by phone contact from us, to seek further care from their personal physician.

“As a mother of 4 children and an adult cardiologist, I would highly recommend this screening for all children. I personally tested all of my kids as soon as they became age appropriate and am grateful to know their hearts are healthy.

The My HeartCheck screening is a wonderful opportunity to screen our children for heart rhythm issues, high blood pressure and cardiac congenital structural abnormalities. It is non-invasive and completely painless for the kids. As kids participate in competitive sports and physical activities it is important to rule out many conditions that can lead to sudden cardiac death. This screening enables parents to have that assurance and also can detect conditions that can be treated early and followed closely to prevent serious complications.

The testing process is organized and efficient. The results are timely and accurate. The scheduling process is seamless. “

Financial Assistance

We feel strongly that no child should miss this important opportunity due to cost. Thanks to our generous partners, the Jordan Robert Mann Foundation & Strive for Life Foundation we’re able to offer special pricing to families that qualify.

“I wanted to send a note about my daughter Grace. She had open heart surgery to fix a half dollar size hole in her heart at Children's Mercy. Every surgeon and cardiologist we talked to said she would have needed a transplant in 4 to 5 years because of the damage being done to her heart by the hole. Your test saved her life and we are forever grateful. We will be advocates of this testing continuing. If there is anything we can do to help, please let us know.”

TESTIMONIALS

I brought my 3 children to your HeartCheck on January 9, 2018. The tests detected an ASD in my 10-year-old daughter's heart. This Monday, April 16th Children’s Mercy Hospital performed a surgical procedure to implant a device to repair the hole in her heart. My daughter is doing great and returned to school today with a centimeter sized incision in her upper thigh and a story to tell. As I’ve told our family and friends who are now scheduling their children for the screening, for 30 minutes and the cost of a pair of good running shoes, the testing is well worth it.

“Brandon ended up having two extra electrical pathways on the left side of his heart, along with one on the right that needed to be removed. The cardiologists had to speed up his heart during the surgery to map out the abnormal electrical pathways you found when we had him screened at school My-HeartCheck. He’s recovered really well. The cardiologists said these tests probably saved his life because he wouldn't have made it through ROTC Military Physical Competitions scheduled next year having Wolff-Parkinson-White. The money we spent on these tests is the best money we've ever spent and ever will spend! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! We feel so lucky and blessed the school district had My-HeartCheck to do the screening!

“My-HeartCheck is providing a tremendous service for the Olathe Public Schools by providing our student-athletes affordable and convenient testing for undetectable heart conditions. Through the heart imaging and other tests, parents can obtain information on their child’s physical condition that can’t be achieved thru the typical pre-participation physical exams. My-HeartCheck does all the heavy lifting, signups, setup, and testing. As a district athletic director, all was required to do was secure a location for testing and provide in-formation to the building athletic directors and coaches. This is a great program that all school districts should take advantage of.”

My-HeartCheck was great from start to finish in the services they provided. From our initial meeting and through the planning process, David and his staff were easy to work with. Before and after the event, we received nothing but positive feedback from the parents of our student-athletes. Being able to offer these services, at a reasonable price, was a big selling point for our parents. I would 100% recommend this service to any of my colleagues.

I enjoy working with David and Eric from My-HeartCheck. The service they provide is necessary, credible, and to be honest, lifesaving. My-HeartCheck performs these simple and noninvasive tests in a secure and stress-free manner at a fraction of the cost of having them done through your doctor. And what you get in return is a level of peace of mind that you can't put a price tag on. I believe this to be a service that every school in America should take advantage of.
