if i may veer off from the topic a bit, yep i had a heart problem too less than two years ago. since you're a cardio ultrasonographer, you might know this, i was diagnosed with neurocardiogenic syncope, cardioinhibitory type.. meaning if i was standing for too long my heart would totally stop. i was interning at one of the leading hospitals in my country, and they thought my case was so odd (i was the youngest to test positive on a tilt-table test, i went from 50+ bpm to a total flatline on the 27th minute)... my case was presented in their monthly conference; and ALL the consultants recommended i get a pacemaker ASAP. well i was nearly going to, but thought i should go conservative 1st, and it turned out my problem was due to all the Xenadrine (ephedrine based) i had been taking.... so after i stopped the pills all the symptoms went away! i almost had a permanent pacemaker implanted at the age of 25! :P that was no cheap pacemaker either! :-o
