Hi Tom,

Welcome and be assured you are in the best hands for your myectomy.

If you are interested, I wrote a blog about my experience having a myectomy at Mayo 10 years ago.
You can find it at http://www.cynthiassummeradventure.blogspot.com

I also write a current blog which has a whole page devoted to resources for patients undergoing myectomy. You can find it here:

Hoping all goes well for you. Your doctors have already probably warned you, but your experience may be a little different since you have already had an alcohol ablation. The alcohol ablation gives you right bundle branch block, while the myectomy will give you left bundle branch block. Therefore, there is a pretty good chance you will be pacemaker dependent after surgery. Do you already have an implanted device?

Wishing you all the best.
