I don’t know if the prompts can be asking for more in stories you’ve already started, but I would love to see more of the Hero of Shadow and Wild Link interacting, or more on Abel’s heart attack in the HC AU, or more interactions with Zelda and Link after they had to get married (Golden Mercy? The Imprisoning War? Not sure what that one’s called). … Or basically anything involving hurt/comfort or Hyrule, honestly. 😂
I love your writing so much, thank you for sharing it with us! < 3
Hyrule snapped his fingers in front of his friend. ��Wild!”
Wild blinked, flinching and taking a step back. “S-sorry—”
“You good? Was that another—I thought the meds—”
“No,” Wild shook his head. “I—it was—sorry, I just—he—”
Wild continued to stammer, at a loss for words. What was he supposed to say? He hadn't spaced out, he'd honed in, his mind had snapped with clarity, screaming at him and wanting nothing more than to run towards the stretcher.
That man—he was—
And he was having a—
"I-I just... need to sit down for a bit," Wild finally said, walking out of the ED.
Wild had yet to fully explain everything that had happened in his past. Everyone knew he had gaps in his memory, that he'd sustained a head injury, that it made him have absence seizures, but the cause of it... the people he'd left behind because of the aftermath...
How could Wild possibly ever explain? He'd failed in his mission, and it had gotten his entire team killed. He could never face anyone from his past, let alone his—
Castle Town had promised a new life, a new beginning, especially as memories had tried to piece themselves back together and make him want to run and hide all the more. If he told everyone... then there was no more running from it.
Wild buried his face in his hands, resting on an empty stretcher in the basement. His mind screamed with anxiety as his past caught up to the present, and his heart screamed with worry over his father.
This was a nightmare.

Fable looked over her room one more time. Ambu bag? Check. Suction? Check. Defibrillator? Check. She had her maintenance IV fluid set up, the plasmolyte liter set up, the wires for the cardiac monitoring system ready to go, chest tube suction at the ready, and her little trays had all the syringes, saline flushes, blunt tips, alcohol swabs, caps, lab tubes, and everything else she could think of prepared.
She'd chart stalked the patient while he was in the OR, and she'd already gotten report from the nurse. Forty-year-old male (oh he's young, Fable thought, used to seeing far older patients) presented to the ED via EMS with chest pain and shortness of breath, STEMI confirmed with EKG, and he was sent to the cath lab. There they found multiple severe occlusions and opted for an open heart bypass surgery rather than using stents, and off to the OR he'd gone.
The surgery had gone fairly straightforward from what she could see - he'd been on bypass for about an hour, and the surgery itself had been going on for about four. He'd gotten about 500 of cell saver, 2L crystalloid, and 1 RBC, and he'd only been defibrillated once.
Just as she looked over the chart again, roll call was sent out to the unit, and she gathered her thoughts as she went to the room, awaiting the patient. He arrived a minute or so later, and the room quickly filled with Fable, the charge nurse, the tech, another nurse, the anesthesiologist, the attending surgeon, the fellow surgeon, the respiratory therapist, the ICU attending, and the nurse practitioner.
Everyone slipped into different roles and tasks fairly easily and quickly. Anesthesia handed off to the RT, who attached the ET tube to his ventilator, the tech worked on putting chest tubes to suction and getting outputs, Fable assessed her patient and looked at what drips they were on (2 of epi, 4 of levo, 0.02 of vaso, 1.5 of Dex, 1.2 of insulin), charge took the admission note while the surgeons gave report and Fable listened vaguely, her other nurse was attaching the safe set to the arterial line to collect blood for labs and an ABG, and the ICU providers listened to the report.
Vasoplegia, not too much bleeding but enough to merit product, chest tube output was a little high but not alarming, and he was cold at 35.8. Fable asked her tech to get a bear hugger, and x-ray arrived to check ET placement as the surgeons finished report. Fable stripped the chest tubes alongside the surgical fellow before they all stepped out for x-ray. ABG resulted pH 7.33, pO2 107, CO2 38, bicarb 24, and lactate 3.1. Fable opened the extra plasmolyte fluid bolus up to try and help with the lactate, which was likely indicative that the patient was dry.
The surgery team left, and Fable remained to stabilize the patient. She and her charge nurse worked on detangling the lines while the tech covered him in a warm blanket. His blood pressure was within parameters, with a mean arterial pressure greater than 65, though his systolics were in the 120s, which was right at his upper limit, so she tried weaning the levo a little, going to 3 to see what would happen, before continuing to detangle lines, get a blood sugar for the glucommander that was determining the insulin levels to give him, and obtaining cardiac output indeces. His cardiac index was 2.8, and his systemic vascular resistance indexed for his body weight was around 2600. Good CI, a little higher on the SVRI end. Perhaps she should wean the epi too, assuming his MAP tolerated it.
After about an hour, Fable felt a little less overwhelmed, and she called her charge nurse, who had left the room a good while ago alongside the rest of the team. "Have we heard anything about family?"
"He has a wife and daughter," she replied. "But they're a fair distance from here, out in Hateno. I think last we heard they were making arrangements to get here, but it wouldn't be until tomorrow morning."
Fable glanced at the clock. It was almost shift change, so night shift would have to be the ones to wake the man up, get a neuro assessment, and then hopefully extubate him.
Nodding, she went back to work. She wasn't going to wean sedation until he was warm enough, so all she had to focus on right now was stabilizing him. His labs came back and his hemoglobin was a little low, and his two mediastinal and one pleural chest tubes collectively put out about 280mL of blood. It was still a fairly high amount, mostly evenly distributed (the meds were bleeding more, but neither exceeded 100mL for the hour), but not enough to think there was an active bleed that needed surgical intervention. Not yet, at least.
Overall, he looked pretty decent.
After another hour, one blood product later, Fable finally felt like she was starting to get everything settled. Her patient's temperature was normalizing, but she was twenty minutes from shift change, so she figured it was safer to let him sleep through report and then night shift could try to figure out weaning and bathing. His lactic on his repeat ABG was improving at 2.4, so they were likely addressing all the problems.
When a transporter walked by, IV pumps in hand, she noticed him pause in front of her room. She walked over to him. "Hey. Can I help you?"
The transporter, a young man with long blonde hair tied out of his face, jumped, a little startled. "Uh, hi. Yeah. Sorry. I just..."
"What room are you looking for?" she asked helpfully. "I don't need extra channels."
"Uh, these are for 4301."
"You passed it, it's back that way."
"Right," the man nodded, looking back in the room. "Right."
Fable waited a moment, and then asked, "Can I help you with anything else?"
"Is he doing okay?" the man immediately asked.
Fable smiled. "Yeah, he's looking pretty good, I think."
"Can..." the transporter swallowed, shifting anxiously. "Can I talk to him?"
"He's pretty sedated right now," Fable answered cautiously. "Why do you want to talk to him?"
The transporter sighed in defeat. "I... he's my dad. I... haven't seen him in a long time."
His dad? Her charge nurse had said he had a daughter, not a son. Though... looking between her patient and the transporter in front of her, the family resemblance was striking.
Well, she hadn't heard of any visitor restrictions for him. "Yeah. You're not on his chart, though - can I get your name?"
The transporter sighed, putting the supplies he'd been carrying on the counter of the nurse's station. "I wouldn't be on it. My family thinks I'm dead. It's complicated."
He—uh... what?
"My name's Link," he answered her nonetheless before entering her patient's room.
Link? Huh. That was...
Wait a second.
"Hey, are you one of my brother's friends?" Fable asked as she followed him into the room.
"Your brother?"
"Link. Likes to call himself Legend to differentiate," she replied with an amused roll of her eyes.
Link gawked at her. "You're Legend's sister? He never even said he had a sister!"
"You two are alike," Fable huffed. "He doesn't particularly want a bunch of people to know he's related to me. But never mind that. Go talk to your dad."
Link stood there a moment, processing the words, before he exhaled shakily and nodded. Fable moved to the computer, working on catching up on charting to give him some privacy but also keep an eye on things. This patient's safety was her responsibility, after all.
Link seemed almost timid to approach the patient, even though he knew he was sedated. He slowly slid his hand into the older man's, shakily and quietly saying, "Hey, Papa. I... I, uh... I-I..."
Fable glanced out of the corner of her eye, seeing the young man getting tearful, and she tried to focus on her work once more.
"I missed you," Link whispered. "I'm s-sorry... about... about everything."
She heard a sniffle, and then the transporter moved quickly out of the room, offering her a brief but quick thanks before disappearing.
Fable turned towards the doorway, and then looked at her patient uncertainly. That was... odd.
Sighing, she walked up to the man, brushing hair out of his face. "Buddy, your family drama sounds almost as crazy as mine."

My mom is a nurse so I like to occasionally hit her up when I'm working on a fic and say something like "hypothetically if you had a patient..."
Anyway she's just given me the Adam Stanheight Post-Trap Care Plan
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Text under Read More
[Transcript: text conversation with 'Mom'
Sender: If you had a patient whod been deprived of food for like 5 days, what would their treatment look like? I'm assuming all fluid diet at first
Mom: Probably fluids. Clear liquid advance as tolerated. Which means we would make sure he could swallow and then if he does good with fluids give him soft and if that's ok then go to whatever. If he couldn't swallow easily or chew well due to soreness or injuries or what have you, stay with soft. If they get choked we would do thick liquid and if they couldn't do that, only iv fluids and be npo. Nothing by mouth
Sender: Okay! Yeah he was basically locked in a room for five days lol so I was trying to figure out how arduous the healing process would be (aside from the mental trauma obviously) He was injured but nothing vital, he was shot in the shoulder so I mean blood loss but no organ damage or anything.
I was reading that apparently it can lead to your electrolytes getting out of whack? Something about phosphorus deficiency?
(although I suppose given the whole kidnapping thing there's definitely a chance his wound might've gotten infected but Ive already done lots of reading about bullet wound infections haha)
Mom: Is he in the er?
Sender: That's probably where the police would take him when he was found, right?
Mom: Yep. He would be getting a lot of fluids. And antibiotics probably two kinds. Tetanus shot.
Temperature control with warm fluids and warm blankets and warm room temp. Catheter for monitoring input and output. All the monitors: cardiac, oxygen saturation, blood pressure every 15 mins for 2 hours. Chest X-ray and all the labs. Probably his potassium would be high because he's dehydrated which would make him have shortness of breath chest pain dizziness...plus his mouth is probably dry and stuck to his teeth and stuff. That's the way people look when they are "found down" after some days. Covered in their urine and or poop. With low temps. Septic.
Low blood pressure. Weak as hell. From the wound infection.
This is fun for me I guess it's obvious (laughing while crying emoji)
Might even have to give vasopressors to make his blood pressure come up. If your bp is low, you aren't getting any blood to your organs.
And/or oxygen
But if he's just hungry and weak, you can actually make it without food. If you have water. But you need good calories to heal wounds. So I'm going drastic. ]

Shockable and Non-Shockable Rhythms
grey's anatomy has been lying to you. flatline is not a shockable rhythm.
automated external defibrillators (AEDs) have a safety feature that can recognise shockable and non-shockable rhythms, this is why they may not authorise a shock.
now, i know that sometimes in fics, people like to describe a flatline before administering a shock but this is incorrect so i'm making this post to show you the different rhythms and whether or not they're shockable. i hope this helps with describing how things look on a monitor.
basically though, a shock acts as a sort of reset button to return the electrical activity to normal. in non-shockable rhythms, there is nothing to be "reset".
here are the shockable rhythms:
a shockable rhythm has the best prognosis with early CPR and defibrillation, we also give epinephrine.
pulselesss ventricular tachycardia (pVT): the ventricles in the heart are contracting too quickly (tachycardia) which decreases ventricular refill, resulting in a reduction in cardiac output. basically, the heart is beating so quickly that the blood can't perfuse anymore and there's no chance for blood to re-enter the heart, meaning that a pulse cannot be palpated.
Tumblr media
ventricular fibrillation (VF): uncoordinated contraction of the ventricles causing disorganised electrical activity in the heart, notice that there are no identifiable QRS complexes. this is probably the most common. think erratic, disorganised.
Tumblr media
here are the non-shockable rhythms:
these are treated with CPR, epinephrine and correction of the cause. shocks won't do anything.
pulseless electrical activity (PEA): this is when we are unable to palpate a pulse despite the presence of sufficient electrical activity. basically, the electrical activity is not eliciting a ventricular response.
Tumblr media
asystole: this is flatlining. this is the cessation of electrical and mechanical activity in the heart. obviously, as a result, cardiac output and perfusion stops.
Tumblr media
remember the Hs and Ts for the possible causes of cardiac arrest.
go forth. enjoy. i hope this helps.

Captopril for Dogs: Benefits, Dosage, Side Effects, and More
Captopril for Dogs
Captopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor commonly used in veterinary medicine to manage heart conditions in dogs, particularly congestive heart failure (CHF) and systemic hypertension (high blood pressure). Initially developed for human use, captopril has found its place in treating canine patients with cardiovascular issues, offering numerous benefits but also requiring careful administration and monitoring due to potential side effects.
Understanding Captopril and Its Mechanism of Action
Captopril works by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme, which is responsible for converting angiotensin I into angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to narrow, leading to increased blood pressure and making the heart work harder. By blocking this conversion, captopril allows blood vessels to relax and widen, reducing the workload on the heart and lowering blood pressure. This action is particularly beneficial for dogs suffering from CHF, as it helps to improve blood flow and reduce fluid buildup in the lungs and other tissues.
Benefits of Captopril for Dogs
Managing Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): CHF is a common condition in dogs, especially in older or certain breeds like Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Captopril helps manage CHF by reducing the resistance the heart faces when pumping blood, thus improving cardiac output and reducing symptoms like coughing, difficulty breathing, and lethargy.
Lowering Blood Pressure: For dogs diagnosed with systemic hypertension, captopril can effectively lower blood pressure, preventing damage to organs such as the kidneys, eyes, and brain, which can result from prolonged high blood pressure.
Improving Quality of Life: By easing the burden on the heart and lowering blood pressure, captopril can significantly improve a dog's overall quality of life. Dogs may exhibit increased energy levels, better appetite, and greater overall comfort as a result of treatment.
Potential Renal Protection: In some cases, captopril may offer renal protection by reducing the progression of kidney disease, particularly in dogs with proteinuria (protein in the urine), which is often associated with high blood pressure.
Dosage and Administration
The dosage of captopril for dogs must be carefully determined by a veterinarian, as it varies depending on the dog's weight, the severity of the condition being treated, and the presence of any other health issues. Captopril is usually administered orally, with or without food, typically two to three times a day.
Typical Dosage: The usual starting dose is around 0.5 to 2 mg per kg of body weight, given every 8 to 12 hours. The dosage may be adjusted based on the dog’s response to the medication and any side effects observed.
Monitoring: Regular monitoring is crucial when a dog is on captopril. Blood pressure, kidney function (via blood tests for creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels), and electrolyte levels should be checked periodically to ensure the medication is working effectively without causing harm.
Potential Side Effects of Captopril
While captopril can be highly beneficial, it also carries the risk of side effects, particularly if not used correctly. Some of the potential side effects include:
Gastrointestinal Issues: Dogs may experience vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite. These symptoms are usually mild but should be reported to the veterinarian if they persist.
Hypotension (Low Blood Pressure): As captopril lowers blood pressure, there is a risk that it may cause blood pressure to drop too low, leading to weakness, dizziness, or fainting. This is more likely to occur in dogs that are dehydrated or have other underlying health conditions.
Kidney Dysfunction: Captopril can affect kidney function, particularly in dogs with pre-existing kidney issues. It’s important to monitor kidney parameters closely during treatment to avoid exacerbating any renal problems.
Hyperkalemia (High Potassium Levels): Captopril can cause an increase in potassium levels, which can lead to dangerous heart rhythms if not managed properly. Regular blood tests are essential to monitor electrolyte levels.
Coughing: A persistent dry cough is a less common side effect but can occur due to the buildup of bradykinin, a substance that captopril can increase in the body.
Allergic Reactions: Though rare, some dogs may have an allergic reaction to captopril, manifesting as itching, rash, or swelling. Immediate veterinary attention is required in such cases.
Precautions and Considerations
Captopril should be used with caution in dogs with pre-existing kidney disease, dehydration, or electrolyte imbalances. It should not be used in dogs that are pregnant, as it can cause harm to the developing fetus. Additionally, it’s important to inform the veterinarian of any other medications the dog is taking, as captopril can interact with other drugs, including diuretics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), potentially leading to adverse effects.

'your job must be really easy since all you do is personal care' 'i couldnt do your job i couldnt spend the day wiping assholes and cleaning up shit'
did u know my ward is nurse led and there are no doctors or emergency teams so if there IS an emergency its me who will be there??? its me who will notice first bc the nurses dont spend time with patients?? did u know that if a patient is unwell and receiving help its probably bc i was paying enough attention to see it? did u know that in the last year i have been assaulted multiple times with two instances needing me to take time off work for recovery??? did u know that i have had to stand between an aggressive patient and ur dying end of life mother multiple times bc id rather get clapped than have ur moms last moments be getting whacked by a person in alcohol withdrawal? did u know i have to bc we have no security at my hospital and the big bosses refuse to give us any bc our cases of aggressive patients arent considered good enough to have the funds given to us for us to be safe?? did u know i am the frontlines person before the nurses?? i am in charge of preventing pressure sores and moisture damage and making sure ur dad doesnt fall and break his hips and feeding and encouraging fluids and personal hygiene and checking blood sugars and blood pressure and monitoring outputs and inputs and if your mom goes into cardiac arrest its ME who will be there to try and give her a fighting chance??? its me who has to constantly be aware of signs of stroke??? or uti's that can be fatal in the elderly??? I HAVE TO BE ALERT FOR SIGNS OF SEPSIS. THERE IS A ONE HOUR WINDOW TO DETERMINE WHICH WAY SEPSIS WILL GO. ONE HOUR.

A Near-Death Experience During Brain Surgery
First-person account of Pamela Reynolds, a 35-year-old working mother who had a veridical NDE while undergoing a highly dangerous operation called hypothermic circulatory arrest to treat a brain aneurysm (from Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of Near-Death Experience by Pim van Lommel MD, 2011, pp. 169-176):
Her physician recommended a CAT scan, which revealed a giant aneurysm in one of the cerebral arteries close to the brain stem...If this aneurysm burst, and the risk of this happening was considerable, a cerebral hemorrhage would be immediately fatal. [...] Neurosurgeon Dr. Robert Spetzler at the Barrow Neurological Institute decided to operate on Pamela, even though her chances of survival were slight. Everything that happened during her operation was carefully recorded. During the operation her body temperature was lowered to approximately 50°F. She was on a heart-lung machine because of the loss of all cardiac electrical activity (cardiac arrest) which always occurs during severe hypothermia. All the blood had been drained from her head. The electrical activity of her cerebral cortex (EEG) and her brain stem ("evoked potentials" through 100-decibel clicks emitted by small molded speakers inserted into her ears) was under constant observation; in both cases, there was no activity whatsoever.
Dr. Spetzler explained:
We want to bring the brain to a halt. We don't just want the brain to be asleep. We want metabolic activity of the brain to stop. Every measurable output that the body puts out really disappears completely so that you have no measurable neuronal activity whatsoever...the patient is put to sleep, the eyes are taped shut, and there are little clicking devices put in each ear to monitor the brain. The patient is then completely covered; the only thing that's really exposed is the area of the head where we work.
During the operation,
Pam's brain was found dead by all three clinical tests - her EEG was silent, her brain-stem response was absent, and no blood flowed through her brain...[Her eyes] were taped shut. Additionally, she was under deep general anesthesia.
While in this state of total metabolic standstill Pamela had a near-death experience.
I don't remember an operating room. I don't remember seeing Doctor Spetzler at all. I was with a fellow; one of his fellows was with me at that time. After that...nothing. Absolutely nothing. Until the sound...and the sound was...unpleasant. It was guttoral. It was reminiscent of being in a dentist's office. And I remember the top of my head tingling, and I just sort of popped out of the top of my head. The further out of my body I got, the more clear the tone became. I remember seeing several things in the operating room when I was looking down. I was the most aware that I've ever been in my entire life. And then I was looking down at my body, and I knew that it was my body. But I didn't care. I thought the way they had my head shaved was very peculiar. I expected them to take all my hair, but they didn't.
I was metaphorically sitting on Dr. Spetzler's shoulder. It wasn't like normal vision. It was brighter and more focused and clearer than normal vision. There was so much in the operating room that I didn't recognize, and so many people. I remember the instrument in his hand; it looked like the handle of my electric toothbrush. I had assumed that they were going to open up the skull with a saw. I had heard the term 'saw', but what I saw looked a lot more like a drill than a saw. It even had little bits that were kept in this case that looked like the case that my father stored his socket wrenches in when I was a child. I saw the grip of the saw, but I didn't see them use it on my head, but I heard it being used on something. It was humming at a distinctly high pitch...I distinctly heard a female voice saying: "We have a problem. Her arteries are too small." And then a male voice: "Try the other side." It seemed to come from further down the table. I do remember wondering what they were doing there [laughs] because this is brain surgery! What had happened was that they accessed the femoral artery in order to drain the blood, and I didn't understand that...
[Pamela then experienced the transcendent portion of her NDE with a tunnel-like sensation, life review, meeting deceased relatives including her grandmother, favorite uncle, great-great aunt and several others before having to return to her body. I'm summarizing this portion of her NDE for brevity.]
[Her deceased Uncle Gene] goes, "Honey, you got to go [back]" No. He pushed me; he gave me a little help there. It's taken a long time, but I think I'm ready to forgive him for that [laughs].
I saw the body jump...And then he pushed me, and I felt it chill inside me. I returned to my body. It was like diving into a pool of ice water...It hurt!
When I came back, and I was still under general anesthesia in the operating theater, they were playing "Hotel California", and the line was "You can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave."
Dr. Spetzler later commented that her account was a very accurate description, and that it was inconceivable that she could have experienced these events through normal sensory means.

The Importance of Regular Heart Screenings for Athletes
Tumblr media
When it comes to athletic performance, we often think about strength, speed, and endurance. However, one crucial factor that is sometimes overlooked is heart health. As athletes push their bodies to the limit, it’s vital to ensure their heart is up to the task. Regular heart screenings are an essential part of maintaining optimal health and preventing potential issues down the line.
In this blog, we will discuss why regular heart screenings are so important for athletes and how they can help detect hidden risks before they turn into major problems.
Why Heart Health Matters for Athletes
The heart is the engine that keeps an athlete going. Every sprint, every jump, every lift relies on the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently throughout the body. Athletes, especially those in high-intensity sports, place a great deal of strain on their cardiovascular system. Over time, this stress can lead to underlying health problems that may not show symptoms right away but can have serious consequences.
Athletes are at a higher risk for heart conditions such as arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, and sudden cardiac arrest. These conditions can be dangerous, especially when athletes are competing or training. Regular heart screenings help identify any potential issues early on, ensuring athletes can take action to protect their health.
What Happens During a Heart Screening?
A heart screening typically involves several tests to assess the overall health of the heart. These tests can include:
Electrocardiogram (ECG) – This test measures the electrical activity of the heart. It can detect irregular heart rhythms and signs of heart disease.
Echocardiogram – This ultrasound test looks at the heart's structure and function, allowing doctors to identify issues like heart valve problems or thickened heart walls.
Stress Test – In a stress test, the athlete exercises while the heart's response to physical stress is monitored. This helps detect any issues with how the heart performs under strain.
Blood Tests – Blood tests can check for markers of heart disease, such as cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which can contribute to the development of heart problems.
Physical Exam – A physical exam allows the doctor to assess overall health, including any signs of heart disease such as high blood pressure or unusual heart sounds.
These screenings help detect heart conditions that may not be visible during regular physical exams or during daily activities.
Benefits of Regular Heart Screenings for Athletes
Early Detection of Heart Issues
One of the biggest advantages of regular heart screenings is the ability to catch problems early. Many heart conditions, like arrhythmias or heart valve issues, may not cause noticeable symptoms but can still be dangerous. Early detection allows athletes to address these conditions before they lead to more serious problems.
Tailored Training Plans
For athletes who are diagnosed with a heart condition, regular heart screenings can help create a safer training plan. With the information gathered from these tests, trainers and coaches can better understand an athlete’s limitations and design a workout schedule that minimizes strain on the heart.
Peace of Mind
Heart screenings provide peace of mind, both for athletes and their families. Knowing that the heart is in good condition or that any issues are being actively monitored allows athletes to train and compete without worrying about potential heart problems.
Improved Performance
Taking care of heart health can actually lead to better athletic performance. When the heart is healthy, it functions more efficiently, which can improve endurance, strength, and overall physical output. Regular heart screenings ensure athletes can perform at their best while minimizing the risk of cardiovascular problems.
Reduced Risk of Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death in athletes. It often occurs without warning and can be fatal if not treated immediately.
