My 29yr old son had a heart cath and was referred to a heart surgeon, who said my son had the worst heart disease he had ever seen in a 28 yr old person. And that there was nothing my son could have eaten to cause the heart to be so blocked. He also said it had to be an inherited trait The heart surgeon recommended using medication.to treat my youngest son, who lived only 6… read more

I'm wondering if they all had hypertrophic cardiopathy. From my understanding it can be hereditary. So sorry you lost 3 children. Praying that the Lord give you his peace and comfort that goes beyond all understanding.

Please talk to your Cardiologist about your families history. Also get a second opinion. HFrER is progressive and shouldn’t be taken lightly!
You have to be your own advocate.
Hopefully you get answers! Don’t stop until you do.
Prayers for you and your family!

I am doing great from my triple bypass surgery in late spring. But my oldest son and my only living child received some possibly bad news last week after me telling my son he needed a stress test. His cardiologist who had said that my son would not have problems with the Left Bundle Branch, ordered a stress test that was abnormal before he exercised and after he exercised. The cardiologist said the scar tissue may mean that my son might have had a heart attack and he was referring him to another doctor in his group for a heart cath. So I am very worried and ask you to please remember my family in your prayers.
Thank you for your concern. May God bless.
