I REGRESSED!! WHICH IS A GOOD THING!!
I am losing my disability, so I called my cardiologist and spoke with his nurse. She said that back in June, my echo came back completely normal.
Over the phone she said the report stated;
"The Septal Myectomy surgery done at the Cleveland Clinic was EXTREMELY successful.
Underlying rhythm is sinus.
The aoric root diameter and motion are normal.
Hypertophy of left ventrical has regressed, cardiac output is normal.
Trace of mital valve regurgitation.
Left atruim is measured at 4.0.
There are fibrocalcific changes of the aortic valve without evidence of stenosis.
The mital valve is thickened with no stenosis or prolapse seen.
Left ventricular cavitary dimensions are within normal limits.
There is no definite hypertophy suggested.
The septum is hypokinetic to slightly paradoxic probably on a postoperative basis as global systolic function is vigorous.
Right ventricle and atrium are normal, the latter measuring 25 mm.
No tricuspid valve abnormalities are identified.
There is no pericardial effusion."
End of Report---
I take it that this means I am doing really well. (?)
The cardologist says he only needs to see me every year and that he is amazed at how well the sugery helped me.
(This is the same cardio who told me I was going to die. Then I contacted the HCMA and had the myectomy at The CCF.)
I told the cardiac nurse that I still have HCM, (because she made it sound like I was cured) but she said, not enough to limit you in any way. Of couse, I don't mind losing disability, I am so happy I'm alive and well, but now I need to find health insurance (bummer).
I still have to have my ICD checked every 3 months.
This is amazing.
Three years ago, I could not walk across the house without being completely out of breath. Now, I am living normal!
Even though I cannot hike a mountain or run up flights of stairs, I'm okay for a 44 year old.
One thing is for sure. My cardiologist here is absolutely amazed at how successful this surgery was for me. He knows about Dr. Lever and Dr. Smedira.
Thank you Dr. Lever and Dr. Smedira
I can never thank you enough.
84,000 hugs to you and THE CCF
