\n

The nation rallied around Buffalo Bills football player Damar Hamlin nearly three weeks ago when his heart stopped<\/a> after a tackle during a game and he collapsed on the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hamlin is now recovering at home and still faces a lengthy rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

Yet if there is any good to have come from his medical scare<\/a>, it may be the renewed attention on keeping student athletes safe, experts say.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TEE HIGGINS LOOKING FORWARD TO \u2018HAPPY REUNION\u2019 WITH DAMAR HAMLIN, SHARING \u2018LAUGHS AND GIGGLES\u2019<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in young athletes.<\/p>\n

And one Louisiana couple is making life-saving screenings more accessible for families.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“An incident like this makes you realize, we’ve got to reenergize, continue to push, continue to educate,” said cardiologist Dr. Steven Kelley of the Baton Rouge area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For 15 years, Dr. Kelley and his wife Danielle have been champions for heart screenings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the death of one of their children’s classmates<\/a> during a basketball game, the couple committed themselves to using their medical backgrounds to offer EKGs and echocardiograms to students free of charge.<\/p>\n

They do so through Jump Start Your Heart, their nonprofit organization.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We’ve screened over 7,000 students,” Danielle Kelley told Fox News.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“But we just want to screen more and more.”<\/p>\n

Danielle Kelley said that ever since Hamlin’s collapse, their organization has received numerous emails from schools, parents and clubs<\/a> wanting to schedule screenings for their young athletes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Studies show that one in 300 students are at risk for sudden cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n

HEART ATTACK RISK CAN BE FOUND THROUGH NON-INVASIVE CALCIUM SCORE SCREENING SCAN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

These conditions are often missed during standard physicals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Just in the last two weeks alone, a 16-year-old girl in Las Vegas<\/a> died after having chest problems during a flag football game.<\/p>\n

At the Air Force Academy<\/a>, a 21-year-old football player died suddenly on his way to class.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As a parent, I don’t know that there is any other pain that you could bear than the loss of a child,” Dr. Kelley said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We have more work to do. We have to continue to speak up.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of the thousands of students he’s screened, Dr. Kelley said that only a handful have had abnormalities.<\/p>\n

Even so, getting those tests could have easily saved their lives, he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
