What to expect when getting your HeartCheck
My-HeartCheck® is a series of three tests that are used to diagnose structural heart defects and electrical disturbances. We utilize blood pressure, electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), and an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) to aid in uncovering hidden heart abnormalities.
We bring our portable clinic, on-site, to the host organization’s facility to aid in the smooth flow of testing and privacy. We offer online pre-registration, appointment scheduling, and payment of the parent’s portion through our website.
Once completed, all exams are transferred via a HIPAA secured system, for review by Board Certified cardiologists. A comprehensive report is returned via email to the participant, as well as sent to their personal physician if requested. If any abnormalities are identified, the participant is instructed in the report and by one of our representatives by phone to seek further care from their personal physician.
ECG (sometimes called EKG)
The first test step of the screening includes taking their blood pressure and performing an ECG. The ECG allows us to analyze the electrical function of the heart. There are 2 primary abnormalities that can be detected by the ECG, Wolff Parkinsons White Syndrome and Long QT Syndrome.
Echocardiogram (heart ultrasound)
The second part of the screening is an echocardiogram. The echocardiogram provides both still and motion images, allowing our cardiologist the ability to see the structural function of the heart. The echocardiogram allows us to analyze chamber sizes, wall thickness, all valve function, blood flow as well as other critical parts of the heart. According to Mayo Clinic, the echocardiogram is considered the “Gold Standard” in evaluating the structure of the heart.

My HeartCheck is a medical services organization that provides professional youth heart screenings, including EKGs and echocardiograms.
To help ensure that cost is not a barrier to screening, My HeartCheck works with multiple independent nonprofit organizations that provide charitable support for families and communities in need. These partners include Strive for Life Foundation and the Jordan Robert Mann Foundation, among others.
My HeartCheck automatically applies the first $40 of financial assistance toward every qualifying financial aid screening. When a parent requests financial assistance, the pricing is adjusted immediately using a pre-established aid formula. Additional assistance beyond the first $40 is supported through our charitable partners—including Strive for Life Foundation and the Jordan Robert Mann Foundation—subject to available funding.
In addition to individual financial assistance, My HeartCheck works with multiple nonprofit organizations to support fully funded heart screening events in underserved or high-risk communities. These events are designed to expand access to screenings for children who might otherwise go untested.
My HeartCheck provides the clinical screening services for all screenings and events at standard, fair-market rates. While My HeartCheck and its nonprofit partners are separate organizations with distinct roles, we share a common goal: protecting children by identifying hidden heart conditions early.
