, posted Thu 1 Jul 09:30 Wilson was diagnosed with hypertrophy cardiomyopathy, a cardiac disease caused by excessively thick heart walls. The condition is genetic and could have been triggered by almost any activity, including standing up or sitting down.
So it makes no sense why this is associated with video games. Lets say instead of playing DDR she decided to stay at home stuffing her face with Oreos. Then when she gets up to get more cookies she has a heart attack. Then some Oreo news site gives the news OREOS ARE DROP DEAD FUN LOLZ.

Yeah, but the fact that she's out there playing DDR knowing full well that just standing up could kill her is bizzar. I get that you wouldn't want to live your life in a bubble because you have a heart condition but you gotta watch out for yourself too. Anyhoo, just thought it was games related because, well... this happened because she was play a game... not eating Oreos.

Konami has a message while loading the game stating that you need to be careful and all... Plus it's not like she didn't know that this game is like exercising.
DDR should be in every school, kids don't exercise enough, if you can trick them into doing sports while having fun, I say go ahead!
But fortunately, the point of the article is not to bash on DDR.
Damn you Microsoft because of you I can calculate faster than my computer!

After she arrived at the hospital, Wilson was diagnosed with hypertrophy cardiomyopathy
So at least she didn't know that she had the condition beforehand.

If I had to play video games for gym class then I probably would enjoyed it more and might even had taken the class more then once. I'm all for DDR in schools too. Sign me up.
Dude... sorry about your cat.

The problem with this is almost every arcade DDR machine I've ever seen has been some bootlegged Japanese machine that only displays said warning in Japanese.

Then we get into issues of legal official languages and such. But that gets into a whole other political can o' worms that I'm not gonna open here.
By the way, Joe -- awesome av.

I suffer from the exact same condition he does, the problem with Hyperthropic Cardiomyopathy is pretty much gauranteed to be leathal if it is genetic.
