HCM-ers: Introduce yourself or just say hi
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) | Last Active: Sep 1 3:00pm | Replies (1256)Comment receiving replies
Hello everyone, I’m Chris, a 52-year old living in the Chicago area. I was just diagnosed with HCM last month after being hospitalized with Afib. I’m still in the process of researching this condition and stumbled onto this support group.

@thnsspls Hi Chris, I just found this support group and figured I'd point out that my name is also Chris, I am also from/living in the Chicago area, and I also have HCM. Have a great one!
