ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power takes a look at sports medicine in today’s podcast. Join ASAP Podcaster Ed Cicale and Midwest Ultrasound representatives Ken Bertke (Clinical Director of Cardiac Services) and Dave Parlato (Chief of Clinical Operations) in an in-depth discussion about affordable screening for sudden cardiac death through the use of ultrasound echocardiography.
Essentially, they are taking pictures of the athlete’s heart and from there a reading and analysis is completed by a cardiologist at
The Christ Hospital here in Cincinnati.
High school trainers are very interested in this technology due to the detection of conditions that can’t be seen on the playing field or through a typical pre-participation physical examination. The "echo" can determine if there is a pathology.
