What To Do For Heart Problem?
I know this will be difficult to answer. I have had a heart triple bypass in 2000. one of the transplants failed. I have had 5 procedures of taking blood clots out of my left leg over the past five years. This year i have had a procedure to clean out leg. it lead to finally getting a leg bypass. As a result I have no veins left. My father died at 41. my sister at 47 of heart disease. I am trying everything possible but seem to have the genetics against me. I am 64. is there a way to determine my longevity. I have 8 grandchildren.

hello,I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.First of all let me tell you that genetics is highly affected by external environmental factors.Your life style can certainly modify genetical risk.so you should not worry about it.You have certainly long longevity as your angiography of heart was normal.
However I need to know your entire case history to guide properly.
My best wishes
