Cardiac Screening:
Free Testing for TeamHKU Members 

Following the success of our screening in 2025/26, we will be continuing to offer free cardiac screening tests (ECG, ECHO, blood test where appropriate) to all TeamHKU members (typical cost over $5,000).

 

As you will know, having an active lifestyle is an important factor in maintaining good health, however you may not be aware that Sudden Cardiac Death is the most common form of death in athletes, occurring in 1 in up to every 40,000, even in individuals with high levels of activity and fitness. Those with cardiac abnormalities often have no symptoms, highlighting the importance of this screening process in those who feel fit and healthy.

 

Testing will take place in September and October, with additional dates potentially added later in the year. We strongly recommend that all TeamHKU athletes who have not completed this testing book in for a screening appointment. Those who have completed the testing previously do not need to attend another appointment unless specifically advised to do so.

 

For teams that qualify for competitions where evidence of specific testing is required, please contact your team advisor for further information as it may be possible for the CSE to arrange this for these teams.
