Dr Dearani is the best! You could not have been in better care @dbrima. And your story is the perfect example of how important a Center of Excellence is for a precision surgery like a septal myectomy. The best thing you can do is research and find out how many a facility has done, even if they call themselves a Center of Excellence or a Heart Institute.
You were right all along, you knew you didn't feel well. Thank goodness you are in a better place now. I hope you are doing better. And you are connected to the Mayo Clinic now, which is a blessing!

My cardiologist just told me I have the Apical HCM type. I wasn't aware of that until now. How does it differ from HCM and at what point do you need to look into the septal myectomy surgery? I've been having symptoms recently, and he scheduled me for a stress-echo next month to take a look.
