A *MUST READ* for friends and family of a HOCM patient
If you or someone you love suffers from this disease, then this book is a must read. It completely explains the condition in a way that is easy to understand. It also covers the various ways currently used to identify and treat the symptoms. This book was co-authored by the leading cardiologist in the field and the president of the HCMA support group [....]Additionally, I would recommend contacting the HCMA for more information and support. They can put you in touch with a specialist in your area who can better help you treat this disease.
My wife was diagnosed with this condition in April 2002 by a local cardiologist who did not know much about HCM and should have diagnosed it in January with the first test. After joining the HCMA and receiving this book, we knew more than our local doctor. The HCMA hooked us up with a Specialist at the Cleveland Clinic and where we are currently getting treatment. As a matter of fact, Dr. Lever at the Cleveland Clinic even recommended this book for us to read! He was very pleased that we had already done that!
