Hyperthrophic cardiomyopathy
My dad has this. I have had several echos my whole life and have never found any evidence of this. My son is 2 years old. Do I need to have him screened now or do I just need to wait until he begins playing sports? The pediatrician said wait until he begins sports. I'm kinda nervous about waiting that long. Anyone have Amy experience in this?
Thanks for the question and you make a very good point. I am providing a link to a forum that has experience with pediatric health care and would be in a better position to answer your question.
