Is it possible to get a virtual (tele) second opinion on HCM at Mayo?

Posted by leenag @leenag, Dec 16, 2025

I feel my HCM has progressed and my local docs don’t seem to get the whole picture. I am dealing with Afib which has been hard to control as well as moderate SOB from HCM. I have initiated a self referral and got connected to the Cardiology group. I live in Texas. Isn’t there a HCM specific team that I can connect with. I was hoping for an initial tele visit vs having to travel which is not easy for me. I have a lot of recent test results I can provide them. If anybody has experience navigating consultation at the Mayo Clinic I would really appreciate your help. Thank you

The procedure is certainly tailored to each circumstance. My family doctor referred me to a cardiologist practice after a murmur did not disappear. The cardiologist I was assigned to was well versed in HCM, I knew after tests. We have no COE for HCM in the area. He referred me to Mayo, one phone appointment, the trip for surgery and tests the two days before, one phone appointment after, the rest of the care was provided at home. You will probably have a unique story to share!
