I had no idea I had any problem until I went in for a hysterectomy in 2012 and was told I had a heart mummer. They delayed the op until the heart had been assessed and I was told I had apical cardiomyopathy. I have been for a check up each year since although I haven't been called this year. The wall is 1.34 cm which from reading about doesn't seem too bad but my cardiologist is always in such a hurry he won't discuss anything. In 2015 I was put on a 7 day heart monitor and found to have quite a few non sustained Ventricular tachycardia. Again I wasn't aware of this. The cardiologist said I may be at risk of sudden cardiac arrest but after discussing it with his panel, it was decided not to do anything about it and a ICD wasn't necessary at this stage. I'm on calcium channel blockers and beta blockers (only a small dose) for high blood pressure which they thought had caused the cardiomyopathy. The trouble is I am now beginning to get paranoid about it and feel that if I can find out more I may have some peace of mind.
