HCM-ers: Introduce yourself or just say hi

You are very lucky to live near one of the best centers for HCM care in the world. If you are able, you could have all necessary testing done at Mayo and forego all the traveling. All of these other conditions could be related to what they are calling HCM. It seems like it would make sense to have it all looked at at once by the same place.

I'm no help in terms of Mayo accepting Vet Choice, but that is disappointing, very disappointing.

My husband is a VietNam Veteran and we live in upper Wisconsin. We have been working with the Minn VA. The Cardiologist there said to "find the best place to have the Septal Myectomy - the place where the surgeon has done the most of these surgeries". So yes, Mayo seems to be the best place however Mayo will not work with the VA to pay for the surgery. I believe Vet Choice is the vendor working with the VA. I have been told by staff at Mayo Cardiology Dept that they will not see my husband. I am very disappointed.
