MILD HCM

I have HCM with no obstruction. My Dr. says it is mild according to all the typical tests. I can't stop worrying about it. Is this something I will die from or die with?


This discussion is related to Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy ? Arrythmias.

You have doubled posted regarding the same issue.  I answered your latest post, but I will add that sometimes an enlarged septum can interfere with electrical impulses that activates the right and left ventricle.  The septum that is referred to in the other post provides a pathway for the electrical impulses, but a mild increase should not be an issue either.
