I had an extended myectomy 10 1/2 years ago and am doing great. Best advice is to go with a very experienced surgeon. I also have concentric hypertrophy (the thickness all over) and the surgery helped me tremendously and I am nowhere close to transplant. Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic are top two in U.S. Where are you located?

I am in Austin texas ..I got an appointment with dr oommen and schaff in April. Did you also have a SAM hypertrophie ?

Yes I did. He is in great hands at Mayo, I have felt much better since my surgery. There is much they can do with myectomy at Mayo and you see with the right surgeon in case your husband needs an apical approach as well.

HI Lina, If you would have interest in meeting in person while in Rochester, just please message me and we can try to connect. I work in Public Affairs at Mayo and had a septal myectomy and double bypass in December of 2015. I feel so much better after this procedure, and there are few things I might be able to share to make your experience even more positive, depending on whether or not you have surgery. Dr. Schaff did my surgery and I am familiar with Dr.Ommen. Both are fantastic. Good luck.

Thanks Ronald ..That is so great .i have now the appoinment with dr Ommen and Schaff on April 17th.hope i can meet you in person.
