New data highlight concerning trends among young Americans and sudden cardiac death. Our goal should be that every cardiac arrest is vigorously met with the tools needed to save a life—for athletes and urban and rural communities alike. buff.ly/4gImAYW

Back to your regular reminder that almost 40% of 12-21yo females are iron deficient but most of them go undiagnosed because there’s no regular screening. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

+1. Incredibly proud of the hard work that went into this comprehensive review on sudden cardiac arrest in athletes. Understanding these events in athletes has implications that echo far beyond the field and touches the health of all young adults. Full Text Link: bit.ly/3B1TxjT
