Hello @thehound572001. I’m glad you’ve joined this incredible group on Connect – Welcome!
I’d like to share this video, where Dr. Steve R. Ommen, director, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Clinic at Mayo Clinic, reviews hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, sudden death and implantable defibrillators

Paul, with the additional diagnoses (heart failure, mitral valve disorder) what are the next steps in treatment?

Well I guess my next step would be heart replacement, my obstruction is lower down so a myectomy is not on the books, my doctor does the NVO2 test on me to seen what my oxygen levee are and my last 1 came in at 24, 14 they do transplant is what they are telling me.

Thanks for the message back, still trying to get used to the way this is setup, sorry it took awhile to reply back, I hope what I say on here helps others to deal with there issues, it can be hard to deal with this condition, I watched my mother go through it, now I am going through it, I seem to have more symptoms that her though...
