A group researchers who gave heart screenings to a group of sixth graders were shocked by their findings says the Houston Chronicle. The tests revealed seven children with undiagnosed heart conditions, and two which required immediate surgery. The researchers hope that their finding will set the wheels in motion to make heart screenings mandatory for all sixth graders across the country.
