Eden's Heart: Among the fields of gold

Among the fields of gold

It was a magical day for the Murphy family this weekend. Eden left the city and entered the mountains for the first time in over 7 months.

In her short life Eden hasn't yet grasped her parents love for the mountains, but she could feel our energy and was just happy to be out of the house.

My dear Eden Raine, welcome back to the mountains. What a pleasure it is to bring you here. My favorite time of year.

"I never make promises lightly.... but I swear in the days still left, we will walk in fields of gold."

What is Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy?

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, is one of the four main types of cardiomyopathy. Characterized by the abnormal growth of muscle fibers on the heart muscle, HCM often results in a thickened septum and/or left and right ventricle. The thickening of the muscle can result in a resistance of blood flow both in and out of the heart’s chambers. When this occurs, the heart must work harder to pump blood throughout the body.

While perceived to be somewhat rare, HCM affects an estimated one in 500 people. It is the number one reason for heart transplants and the most common cause of sudden cardiac death in people under age 30. HCM may be best known for its role in cardiac arrest and subsequent death in some young professional athletes. The cause of HCM is largely unknown, however current research suggests it is genetic in origin.
