Flipping off kidney disease since 2008

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?

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.
