Suggest Treatment For Arrhythmia

What is SAM, is it important to have surgery ? What happens when your aorta valve is flapping? I have been told i have arrhythmia and cardiomiopathy , months ago and today told i have SAM. Are these serious enough to have surgery soon or can it be put off until July 6 ?

hello,I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM .From your information you provided it seems you have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.There is disproportionate thickening of wall of left ventricle involving septum underlying aortic valve.in this condition there is forward movement of mitral valve while heart is contracting i.e. systolic anterior motion (SAM).majority of patients do well with beta blocker group of medicines.
i need to know your detailed echo report to guide you regarding surgery and need of any intervention
My Best wishes
