FWIW, I'm a registered Cardiac Sonographer and, of course, my work load increased substantially after the Phen-fen scare. If my results are any indication of trends, this will be passed off as another hype story in order to garner money for some research grant. I have yet to encounter a patient with cardiac valve problems that weren't already present prior to Phen-fen therapy. Remember the majority of patients that are on these pills are overweight to obese to begin with and are high risk for cardiac problems. Gee, what are the chances they will already have cardiac problems?!?!? :) No brainer. Sorry to butt in here, I was tracking a poster and came across this conversation on your thread and just had to add my 2 cents. L8TR! Theo
