Hi ochmnot 22,
Please explain "I'll have to go through some procedures to eliminate the transmission to future heirs." Do you mean for HCM/HOCM? It's genetically passed on and I am not aware that there is genetic engineering available as yet to change the genes responsible for this condition, if they can be found (in my case, not yet). CRISPR technology looks promising.

Hi @walkinggirl
Correct here in the UK a Cardio informed me that ......can do something to prevent the transmission of the gene before fertilisation. He did say it shouldn't be too expensive either. Not sure insurance would cover this. I didn't dig deeper into it as that's not where I am with life at the moment.
