During the event you can get two heart screenings for $85 that would normally cost $1,500.

But you need to schedule an appointment by heading to heartfeltcardiacprojects.org and clicking on the "schedule a screening" link.

City spokesperson Kelly Tokarski shares more:

Teens, parents and people of all ages are encouraged to consider having a low-cost cardiac screening that could make the difference between life and death.

The city of Mission Viejo will once again host the non-profit Heartfelt Cardiac Projects organization.

The screening will include the Echocardiogram (ECHO) and Electrocardiogram (EKG) – vital tests for prevention and awareness. These tests are the best tools for detection of the risks for sudden cardiac death.

The need for such screenings in the young as well as old is evident. According to the organization, a young athlete dies from sudden cardiac arrest every three days in the United States. Sudden cardiac arrest is the #1 killer of women in this country and it kills 450,000 Americans annually.

The screening, which can either create peace of mind or save a life, is open to people ages 5 and over. Screenings are painless, quick and easy and take about 15 minutes. Heartfelt Cardiac Projects can accommodate a limited amount of “walk-ins” so please be sure to schedule your appointment today. Room is still available.
