Absentee Blogger

My dear Canon battery charger,

I know that I have been neglecting you some these days (get in line) and you have had to do quite a bit of traveling outside the comfort of your little desk drawer, but if you would kindly show your face again I would be ever so grateful. After you give my camera's battery a boost again and I am able to upload some of Eden's wonderful recent pictures/travels, then I promise to take better of care of you. Cross my heart.

Tearfully,
Your forever servant

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.
