I add my welcome Misty.
We have several members talking about hypertrophic cardiomyopathy on Connect. Some have the obstructive type of HCM, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and others the non-obstructive type, which is of course apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

I'm tagging fellow Connect members @cynaburst @lynnkay1956 @PatMattos @Sensation @ronaldpetrovich @23273333 to bring them into this discussion about apical HCM and possibly address your question about the wall thickness.

Also, Misty on Nov 2 we are hosting a webinar on "Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and the Surgical Treatment Apical Myectomy" with Mayo Clinic cardiac experts Drs Schaff and Ommen You can sign up to take part here: http://mayocl.in/2dmWhdI

Thanks for welcoming me. It was the webinar which I saw which directed me to you. As you can see from my post above I have shown nsvt on a monitor although I didn't realise. I did go into A&E (I'm in the UK) on 1st July with an irregular heart rate which I think may have been caused by working outside in the heat (it was a very hot day). I was put on a 24 hour monitor afterwards, but there has been no communication from the hospital since and although I've phoned I've got nowhere. Hence I'm determined to find out as much as I possibly can about apical cardiomyopathy.

I thought it might have been the webinar that brought you to Connect. I'm thrilled so many members have greeted you. You will meet more during the webinar too. I might suggest you sign-up for the webinar. That way you'll get an email reminder the day before and an hour before. No need to translate into your time zone.
