Afib, PVC and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Ha ha. HCM is a heart disease called Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Basically the heart wall is thick and causes breathing problems. My husband has both HCM and Afib. He is getting his surgery done for HCM where they make that heart wall thin so blood can flow easily. It is a open heart surgery. We recently found out about the maze procedure that can be done while they open his heart for HCM. Maze procedure will help him with the Afib. I am not sure about that and did not get clear answer on it.

@jshah Well, Now I know I have it. My AFib and HCM is from my Amyloidosis. The best dX comes from the 12-lead ECG, measuring the strength of the QRS signal, and judging whether the tracing shows a deep vibration from the leatherized ventricular and atrial walls, pumping and relaxing. Yes, it is almost the same, except for the pump and relax signal strength. The signal strength is reduced because the protein fibrils get into the sensori-motor nerves and interrupt or dampen the signals. Eventually they will stop the flow of signals altogether.
