Program Overview
Premier Pediatrics and My HeartCheck have provided comprehensive youth cardiac screening through 29 events in Overland Park, Kansas. Each screening included a health-history review, blood-pressure measurement, 12-lead ECG and echocardiogram with pediatric cardiologist interpretation.
Impact at a Glance
Why This Matters
- Early identification: 20 reports contained an ECG or echocardiogram finding or significant test concern.
- Better specificity: Echocardiography clarified 21 ECG patterns that did not represent structural abnormalities.
- Broader prevention: Blood-pressure, weight, hydration and symptom-history guidance helped families address risks beyond structural heart disease.
- Convenient access: 29 events brought comprehensive screening directly to Premier Pediatrics families in the Overland Park area.
Additional Health Guidance
These guidance categories overlap and should not be added together. They are not additional confirmed cardiac diagnoses.

Why ECG and Echocardiography Work Together
Why both tests matter
An ECG can flag an electrical pattern or suggest enlargement, while an echocardiogram directly evaluates heart structure and function. Across the Premier Pediatrics events, echocardiography prevented 21 ECG patterns from being counted as confirmed structural abnormalities.
7 records had incomplete questionnaire information and 2 records lacked a usable physician conclusion. Those 9 screenings remain in the program total but are not counted as having a reassuring ECG/echo outcome.
