Can anyone tell me if
Cardiac Hypertrophy with Fibrosis
is another name for HCM?
My mother passed away Jan 22, 2003 at the age of 58. I got her death certificate today after the Justice of the Peace got her autopsy report. The above was the immediate cause of death with the interval between death and onset listed as acute.
She had many "fainting spells" she attributed to low blood sugar. Her father died at 57 of a massive heart attack - no autopsy. Many other family members with hear ailments. She had recently (the last couple of years) been battling thyroid disease/failure. She had a heart attack when she was in her 30's but she was never diagnosed with anything more than mitro valve prolapse.
Being a holiday weekend, I wasn't able to get an English version of this "cause of death". I need to know more to help determine the road to follow in testing my children and myself. As well as recommending to others in our family to do the same.
My mother was eating breakfast and died very suddenly. I assume this is the same story heard over and over with this condition.
Would love any information I can get.
Thank you!
