Tweeting to raise awareness of strategies that will help prevent sudden cardiac death of young people living with inherited heart rhythm disorders.

@weathernetwork people that climb Everest are narcissistic a-holes that lack a moral and ethical compass

In 2016 700 young Canadians will die of sudden cardiac arrest. Is this the year we begin to take meaningful steps to reduce that number ?

[Blake Hurst @rhythmichearts]

In 2016 about 700 young Canadians will die suddenly of cardiac arrest. Simple policies for following up fainting would prevent many of these

[Blake Hurst @rhythmichearts]

Childhood faints associated with physical activity are particularly suspicious. See a paediatric cardiologist.

[Blake Hurst @rhythmichearts]

At least 5% of childhood faints (1 in 20) are sinister. A sign of an underlying, potentially lethal heart rhythm disorder.

[Blake Hurst @rhythmichearts]

Faint in gym class. 2 months later faint at soccer. 2 months later die. What should have happened after the first fainting episode?

[Blake Hurst @rhythmichearts]

Has your child been diagnosed with epilepsy but your gut tells you that's not it? Could it be Long QT Syndrome, a lethal heart arrhythmia?

[Blake Hurst @rhythmichearts]

When kids faint take them to the doctor and find out why. It may be a life threatening heart arrhythmia

[Blake Hurst @rhythmichearts]

when kids faint all 9-1-1 , even if they regain consciousness and seem fine.

Canadian families affected by #LongQT #Brugada #CPVT #ARVC #HCM direct tweet me if you want to learn about life saving research

#ARVC #LongQT #HCM #Brugada #CPVT We'd love to hear from affected Canadian families that want to help find answers and prevent sudden death

Did your last #CPR class teach you how to prevent a child form ever going into #cardiacarrest ? http://t.co/PdPtVZiIrW

[Blake Hurst @rhythmichearts]

My kids Karate teaches them how to avoid a fight. My #CPR classes teach how to avoid #CardiacArrest, its better than using an #AED

[Blake Hurst @rhythmichearts]

@HeartROC @HeartCPR Every #CPR course should teach the warning signs of paediatric sudden death, its so easy. http://t.co/PdPtVZiIrW

[Blake Hurst @rhythmichearts]

Heart Rhythm Diseases that kill 8,000 kids a year in North America have well known warning signs. Does your #CPR program teach them?

[Blake Hurst @rhythmichearts]

Diseases that cause sudden death in kids are mostly genetic, so siblings and cousins should also get tested http://t.co/e1OLYCghOl … …
