Yes it is- I was afraid I was going to create a heart condition worrying about it.

Dan At 11:45 AM 2/5/2009, t crook said something that elicited my response: Last month I posted- "I was just recently diagnosed with inherited Cardiomyopathy." My diagnosis came when I went to the hospital for being really short of breath and in atrial fib; I was just getting over an upper respiratory virus, my bronchial tubes were plugged in the left lung and allowed it to collapse. The echo I had while in the hospital showed my heart being enlarged. My recent echo showed that my heart was in real good shape; my heart appeared enlarged do to autonomic dysreflexia (AD) and the collapsed lung. I rebounded quickly after a bronchoscopy for the collapsed lung; I had only one night in the hospital. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> My heart doctor is teaching a class at Mayo this month and is taking my echo's to show what a quad's heart with AD and a lung collapse looks like. It feels good to know what condition my condition is in.... woohoo! Tim c5-c6, 20 yrs.post www.geocities.com/onemofortom WhoopieKat.com
