Fight Back Against Inherited Sudden-Death Heart Condition

help prevent sudden death in adults and children with serious HCM-related rhythm problems.

For those whose heart muscle is getting in the way of blood flow, the U-M team and other specialized teams around the country offer procedures to reduce it.

The minimally invasive option, which U-M’s Mauro Moscucci, M.D., performed on Catherine Gray, is called alcohol septal ablation. Another option to reduce the amount of excess heart tissue involves an open-heart operation called a myectomy.

In the end, Catherine says getting the right diagnosis and treatment has made all the difference in the world to her. She’s now back out in her beloved garden, where she’s even enjoying being able to bend over and pull weeds without feeling like her heart will stop. She also has more energy to devote to her grandchildren. And as HCM research and care move forward, those grandchildren may be able to avoid the problems she has fced.
