    HCM and HCMA in the news!

    The local newspaper here in the L.A. Harbor area, "The Daily Breeze", has an article on sudden deaths due to HCM and quotes Ms. Lisa Salberg of the HCMA!

    Here's a link to the article:

    http://www.dailybreeze.com/today/articles/1564411.html

    There's a sidebar in the print copy (but not on the website) with HCM background information from the HCMA website.

    THANKS! This is great news - this means that this story, originally written for a paper in Indiana, was picked up by a different paper and thereby it will likely show up in other papers as well. It was a good story with a sad story about a death, yet the details about HCM are amoung the best written on HCM in the past 2 years.

    I will call the report and family and let them know that CA has picked up the story!
