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.

I hope you read this @metta, it from a very experienced source. It really DOES MATTER where you go for treatment. HCM and HOCM are one thing, and Apical HCM is quite another. Are you close to Mayo Rochester? I had to fly across the USA to get there, but it saved my life!
