Hi jackwalker,
There are actually two COEs (Centers of Excellence) for HCM right in Nashville: Vanderbilt Heart and Vascular Institute/Vanderbilt Medical Center and Ascension St. Thomas Heart. If you have trouble getting an appointment, it might be worth it to join the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association (they have a web site) and they can sometimes help get you an appointment. Would definitely benefit you to see a cardiologist at an HCM clinic as they see a large volume of HCM patients and can better understand your needs. Good luck.

Hello I was trying to be brief, so maybe some more details. I have been going to see a cardiologist at Ascension St. Thomas for all these years. I have had robotic open heart surgery two years ago for a main artery bypass. Just had my 6th heart cath for the doctors to find out why the dizziness and weakness daily. Every med they try I cannot take because they increase my symptoms making life worse. I also had a pacemaker and defibulator installed by Emory around 2016. Many other tests I have had annually but none show the doctors what to do. Just thought I would see if someone else had a superior idea for me to try. Thanks you all for listening.
