Raising awareness of heart health in young athletes

One week ago, tragedy struck at a high school water polo tournament when Belen Jesuit sophomore Lucas Osuna suffered a sudden cardiac arrest and died. His father confirmed today that Lucas had an undiagnosed condition, they suspect Marfan’s Syndrome, which can lead to heart issues. The family had no idea.
The state of Florida only requires all high school athletes to undergo a regular physical exam, but underlying heart conditions can often go unnoticed.
