I think your questions would be better answered in the Emergency and Sick Forum as there are very knowledgable members then. Maybe you should ask administation to move your post to kind the help you are looking for.
Thanks for your thoughts. You're confusing a "heart blockage" with "heart block". Heart block has to do with the electrical system of the heart. In Black's case, (that's her name), the impulse to make her heart beat is not getting through from one place to another. That's the easiest way to explain it. Maybe I'll try the medical forum, thanks. I was in such a rush yesterday to put my question out there, I didn't even see it. : )
