- Sudden Cardiac Death Screening
Proactive screening that could save your life
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is rare, but it can occur without warning — especially in individuals with undiagnosed heart conditions. At Marilie Lombard Biokineticists, we offer Sudden Cardiac Death Screening using advanced BTL CardioPoint™ diagnostic technology to assess cardiac risk factors early and non-invasively.
Whether you’re an athlete, have a family history of heart disease, or simply want reassurance, this screening helps detect issues before they become life-threatening.
What Is SCD Screening?
Sudden cardiac death screening combines a resting ECG, physical assessment, and a review of your medical and family history to identify heart rhythm irregularities or structural issues that may increase your risk. It’s quick, painless, and can be a vital preventative step — especially for active individuals.
Why It Matters
Sudden cardiac death screening helps identify silent risk factors early — giving you the chance to take preventative action before symptoms ever appear.
- Detect hidden heart abnormalities before symptoms appear
- Reduce the risk of cardiac events during exercise
- Provide medical clearance for sports or fitness participation
- Offer peace of mind for high-risk individuals
- Help families with a history of cardiac disease take preventative action
Who Should Consider It?
- Young athletes and fitness enthusiasts
- Individuals with a family history of heart problems or sudden death
- People with known risk factors (e.g. high blood pressure, cholesterol)
- Anyone starting or intensifying an exercise programme
- Patients recovering from illness who want to return to safe training
Early detection. Lifesaving action.
Don’t wait for symptoms. Sudden Cardiac Death Screening gives you critical insight into your heart’s health and helps you move forward with confidence — whether you’re returning to sport, recovering from illness, or just looking after your future.
