Crush Yard’s regular events draw in the local community with favorites like glow in the dark pickleball, sports event viewing parties on two huge video walls, trivia nights, cornhole and more. With unrelenting demand for pickleball courts in and around Central Florida, the community has already begun requesting court time and private events at Crush yard Orlando.

Know Your Family’s Heart History

Published

An important step in learning about hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

(Family Features) Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) Awareness Day, observed every year on the last Wednesday of February, is a chance to shine a light on a heart condition that runs in families but often goes undiagnosed. Knowing your family’s heart history could help prevent sudden cardiac death.

What is HCM?

HCM is the most common inherited heart disease, affecting 1 in 500 people in the U.S., according to the American Heart Association. It causes the heart muscle to thicken, making it harder for the heart to pump blood. Some people with HCM feel symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, chest pain or shortness of breath while others may not notice anything at all.

Because HCM runs in families, first-degree relatives – including parents, siblings and children – should be screened if a family member has been diagnosed. An echocardiogram or genetic testing can catch HCM early, helping prevent complications and guide treatment.

Why Does This Matter for Young Athletes?

HCM is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes, sometimes with no warning signs. Research shows Black male athletes in high-intensity sports like football and basketball may be at higher risk.

In the past, athletes with HCM were often told to avoid intense exercise. Today, AHA/ACC/AMSSM/HRS/PACES/SCMR Guideline for the Management of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy have found many people with HCM can safely stay active. Each athlete should work with a doctor who understands HCM to create a safe exercise plan.

Where Can You Find Support?

Living with HCM can be overwhelming, but no one has to go through it alone. For example, the American Heart Association’s Support Network connects people with HCM, caregivers and loved ones so they can share experiences, ask questions and find encouragement from others.

If you have a family history of heart disease, cardiac arrest or HCM, talk to a doctor about getting screened. To learn more about HCM and resources for student-athletes and young adults, visit heart.org/HCMStudentAthlete.
