Excellent & informative video Jeff. I too share the many symptoms ie difficulties Kathy shared with your wonderful podcast. In short I’m a 63 plus year old male. I too had my MB corrected via open sternotomy age 58. One caveat is I also had inherited HOCM that resulted in complete overhaul of heart via open heart in 2015 age 54. Very healthy and normal otherwise 5 ft 8 155 lbs and fit. (Always have been) Having a deep bridge unroofed & LIMA bypass 2019 while successful unfortunately wasn’t my only genetic flaw. Double whammy with the HOCM now HCM. You see the letter O means obstruction causing me to nearly lose my life. On both life saving operations they were expertly performed @ Cleveland Clinic Main in Ohio. Knowledge is power and without my wisdom & constant perseverance I would certainly have perished. I might probably be one of very few with both of these conditions and lived to tell. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
Paul, the severity of the HCM or HOCM really makes a difference but sounds like you really did your homework to be certain you knew of everything going on. Good for you. The more we know the better we can make decisions that affect our quality of life and our futures. Sarah Miller, Ep 5&6 also had HCM and a full on heart attack. I don't think it was HOCM though and she didn't need full on surgery for repair. Doc wasn't worried about where her issues were. Would you be interested in being a guest the program? You have a good story to tell.
@@imperfectheartpodcast7944 I would absolutely accept an invitation for an interview on your podcast. I was on Suzanne “Boots” Knighton podcast some time ago. To share my story might help or inspire others to take control of your health. Our bodies speak and we cannot be bullied by other egotistical doctors who can be clueless.
