Joycehocm, we ALL were newbies! You will be learning so much! My syncope was 2/2022. Surgery, septal myectomy was 7/21/2022 at Mayo, a Center of Excellence (COE). It's the Gold Standard treatment, Mayo has done thousands since 1959. There are other COEs. Alcohol ablation was not recommended by either my or Mayo cardiologists. Gradient is the pressure to push the blood through the heart. Mine was Zero after surgery. All of us on this blog are grateful to know we are not alone and have discovered that our diagnoses, presentations, treatments and outcomes vary in so many ways.
