This week's routine checkup packs in an inspiring conversation with Lisa Salberg, Founder and CEO of the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association (HCMA). Lisa's mission to improve the lives of those affected by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) stems from her personal experience battling this genetic heart muscle disorder and losing her sister to HCM as well. Despite her own heart transplant in 2017, her commitment remains resolute. In this episode, the fellas discuss screening practices, the signs and symptoms of HCM, and the importance of support for loved ones. Lisa also shares her compelling journey of founding HCMA, a thriving community providing vital resources and life-saving research. Oh and if that's not enough Lisa literally shows the boys her old heart during the interview, which she keeps for educational purposes. Don't miss this powerful conversation that sheds light on HCM, inspires action, and highlights the need for increased awareness and advocacy.
