More than one million people in the U.S. today have a genetically inherited heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) which is a thickening of the heart muscle that may cause no symptoms for years – but can lead to sudden cardiac arrest at any moment.
The prevalence of HCM in the population of Michigan could be as high as almost 49,000+ people, but it can be treated – if diagnosed. Unfortunately, more than 80% of people with HCM don’t realize they have it. Undiagnosed, HCM can kill children and teens, young athletes on basketball courts, adults in the prime of life and seniors starting a healthy retirement.
Please take a moment to fill out this petition asking our Michigan legislators to take action to protect Michigan residents from HCM.
Invite your Legislators to our HCM Awareness Day MICHIGAN Briefing (ujoin.co)
