Title: Sinus Arrythmia
Post by: Hope on July 20, 2008, 05:36:23 PM

Does anyone know if a living donor has an irregular heart beat (Sinus Arrythmia) will that automatically disqualify the person from being a donor? is it different at every hospital, city/state?

Maybe Dr. Evil would know?

I'm trying to find out about things like this, too. Anybody know?

Maybe we should ask on the general discussion board?

Considering all the tests they put a potential donor through to ensure that they have nothing that can be considered a health risk, I would think that any heart abnormality would keep them off the list.
