I had open heart surgery (a septal myectomy) to treat my hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in 2006. I went back to Mayo twice for the two years following the surgery, but after that I hadn’t felt the need to return since I was regularly following up with my local cardiologist. In April of 2018, it had been almost ten years since I had been back to Rochester. So, I decided it was time to take a trip and make sure that all was in order.
