Thank you. This was so helpful. I am in tears. I am going to surgery in three weeks. I have Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and just a week ago after an angiogram they found a large bridge. So I will have both issue taken care of with my surgery. I am scared and I am l so ready to get my life back. Thank you again. Keep up the great work.
Been there done that on both conditions. Big difference is mine were separate open heart surgeries @ Cleveland Clinic. HOCM IN 2015 & deep long MB in 2019 & LIMA bypass. It’s a MUST to have it done @ a Center of Excellence. You will be well if performed @ a COE Hospital. All the best. BTW, I’m a 63 year old male.
Jayne, you should have had your surgery by now. My apologies for not responding sooner. I didn't see the comment. I'm hoping all went well and you're already feeling better. The sternotomy is going to be sore so take it easy and be sure to use your spirometer as it's critical for getting your lungs and breathing back quickly as well as preventing any fluid buildup. Hopefully by now, you're already walking around.
Paul, yes to that LIMA bypass as well. Same here. All in one episode though and a couple of years out now, all is good. Hoping the same for you. You're 9 years out and I'm assuming doing great by the sound of your message. Good to hear.
Great attitude and important perspectives on going through unroofing surgery and more generally managing your myocardial bridge challenges.
Attitude, gratitude and positivity. Thanks for the comments Jed. Looking forward to speaking with you as well!
