Thanks for your well considered reply @walkinggirl. I'm certainly not at all against testing and I firmly believe there are really good reasons for some folks to get it done. When I was diagnosed, I got a letter to send to my family members to give to their family doctors which recommended regular echo/ECG monitoring but didn't say anything about genetic testing. But if my cardiologist recommended it to me, I would be beating down the doors of the nearest lab. I send you sincere best wishes wherever your condition and treatment take you. I just re-read one of your posts and I can only hope I am half as active as you when I get to 77!
