Go Beyond Compliance,
Ensure Real Safety
In 2025, Florida passed SB1070, The Second Chance Act, requiring ECG screenings for all high school athletes. This landmark legislation is designed to protect student-athletes by detecting hidden heart conditions that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest, the leading cause of death in young athletes.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the #1 medical cause of death in young athletes.1
1 in 300 youth have a detectable, potentially life-threatening heart condition.2
In 80% of SCA cases in athletes, death is the first symptom.3
Only 1 in 10 survives an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.4
Cardea 20/20 ECG™ is the only reliable, automated diagnostic system designed with the International Consensus Criteria5 to identify cardiac conditions associated with sudden cardiac death in active youth and athletes.
~2%5 versus the industry norm of up to 30% eliminates needless delays and anxiety from undue side-lining of athletes.
16 seconds of recording time-more data to assess bradycardic hearts.
Low false positive rate avoids unnecessary and costly follow up testing.
Enables onsite testing with immediate automated interpretation.
A lightweight ECG transmitter connects via a USB cable to a standard Windows® PC and can easily be transported.
Cloud storage compatible, making it easy to share ECG reports.
12-lead ECG diagnostic system incorporating the International Consensus Criteria5 for ECG interpretation in athletes.
The extended recording duration of 16 seconds, compared to the standard 10-second duration, offers several significant benefits, particularly for athletes with low resting heart rates. These advantages revolve around the computation of median beats, which can provide valuable insights into an athlete’s cardiovascular health and performance.
Why Cardea 20/20 is the Right Solution:
Cardea 20/20 ECG incorporates previous cardiac disease symptoms for informed decision-making by healthcare professionals. The system allows over-reading, editing, and confirming ECG interpretations, ensuring accurate diagnoses.
It also enables entry of selected echocardiographic data commonly recorded during PPE screening for comprehensive cardiac evaluations of athletes and active individuals.
The Cardea 20/20 ECG™ reimbursement guide reviews the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes commonly used for various electrocardiographic procedures performed with the Cardea 20/20 ECG™ device.
Simply submit the required information, including the serial number of the transmitter, your contact information, and organization details. Upon verification, you will gain immediate access to download the CARDEA 20/20 software directly.
Operating software and training are included without additional charges or subscription fees.
Cardea 20/20 is backed by a warranty that can repair or replace the system as needed.
