A 3418 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DOH to create and disseminate materials and resources related to cardiomyopathy.

New Jersey's Bill A 3418 requires the Department of Health (DOH) to create and distribute public education materials about cardiomyopathy and related high-risk heart conditions (like long QT syndrome and Brugada syndrome) to schools, healthcare providers, and families. The materials will explain symptoms, risk factors, and prevention strategies specifically targeting children, adolescents, and young adults to address sudden cardiac arrest risks. The DOH must also develop a public cardiomyopathy risk assessment tool and submit regular reports on the condition's prevalence and research needs. These materials and tools will be shared with school administrators, coaches, healthcare professionals, and posted online, aiming to improve early detection and awareness.
