What is the recovery like following septal myectomy?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) Support Group.

@gypsytisme

Is everyone on here Mayo patients? I notice you all are referring to your surgery at MAYO.
Im having a CARDIAC MRI tomorrow in Oahu as i live on Maui.

Hi Gypsy, not all members on Mayo Clinic Connect are Mayo patients. However, since Mayo Clinic is renown for treating HCM, quite a few members have been treated there.

How did the MRI go? Will you be having surgery?

Thank you for your reply. I wont know what the MRI results for for about a week or so. Im in HI and they’re on ‘island time’ lol

About surgery, Im glad to hear there are at least surgical options for help. When I first heard of my condition it sounded like there was nothing to prevent or ‘control’ the condition.

Regarding, HCM…I just lost 20 pounds (10%) of my body weight and have another 30 to go. I had an echo cardiogram on Friday in preparation for some kidney surgery. The velocity of my heart pressure was half of what it was at the time of my last echo in June. Grateful for prayers answered and the hope of continuing on the weight loss journey…We can do this!

Did anyone else get sternum popping after surgery, 3 1/2 weeks and I can feel a pop

Thank you for the information. I go in for Apical Myectomy March 12. Sounds like you’re recovering well! Wish you continued success with your recovery.
