Heart Health Awareness
Understanding Myocarditis and Sudden Cardiac Conditions in Children
Myocarditis is a rare but serious condition that causes inflammation of the heart muscle, often triggered by viral infections. In children, it can be difficult to detect — symptoms may resemble a common cold or flu, and in some cases, there are no warning signs at all.
Why Awareness Matters:
Sudden cardiac arrest in children is rare, but when it happens, it’s devastating. Early detection and awareness can save lives. That’s why we’re committed to educating parents, teachers, and community leaders about the signs, risks, and actions they can take.
