I saw Dr. Sherrid last week and had an echo-cardiogram. It has been one year since I was last tested. That previous echo was done 90 days after my ablation.
Dr. Sherrid called and said the echo wasn't good--pause--it was wonderful! No obstruction at all. I asked if that meant I didn't have much HCM, and he said, no I still have the thickening of the heart tissue, but the obstruction is totally gone.
I wonder now, at the age of 58, if I can improve my cardio-vascular health by making it my 1st priority. I always take it slow, don't worry folks! But my obstruction effectively blocked me from much effective cardio-vascular exercise. Now, for the first time, I'm more able to do enough to get to the point where those other factors slow me down. I have always tried to maintain a slow turtle-style endurance. Now I am imitating a turtle with a hot-foot---- ;=]
Progress is slow, but possible, it seems----
