Paulo is right! It�s hypertrophy cardiomyopathy that had made her heart stop. With hypertrophy cardiomyopathy you can be sitting, walking, sleeping, or playing a game, and your heart stop. It has noting to do with DDR. We told our story to the news to let people know that this heart condition is out there, and it�s a killer. We were very lucky that Kimber was not killed, she was in the right place with all the right people around her. I didn�t know I had it until my husband and I went and got tested 3 days after Kimber collapsed. The only test you can do to find out if you have it is an echocardiogram, a simple EKG won�t find it.

Thank you Paulo, we didn�t tell this story to make people stop using DDR, I think it�s a good game for kids, maybe not for ones with hypertrophy cardiomyopathy, but it gets other kids up and moving
