Eden's Heart: Goodbye Perk Hill

Goodbye Perk Hill

We love our neighborhood, especially our block, it rocks! Downtown Denver is known for it's pocket shopping districts and it is such a treat to have one of these conveniences within a very short walking distance of our home. Brian can buy wine/beer and pizza. I can do yoga and get my nails done. Eden can get her hair cut, go to gymnastics, and coax us into dozens of cupcakes. All within steps of our home. But one of our greatest pleasures was our local coffee shop, Perk Hill (a.k.a. "the ice-cream shop" to Eden). They closed their doors this week and we had to say goodbye to our lattes and chai tea, ice-cream and scones, movie rentals and study joint. What a loss.

We ate our last scoops of ice-cream as the moving truck was loaded with the contents of our favorite little Park Hill treasure. You will be missed greatly, Perk Hill Cafe.

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.
