Ventricle thickening
I had kind of a warm pain in my left chest under left arm 10 days ago. I was sleeping and the pain causes to wake up. The heart specialist doctor gets some tests such electrocardiography and echocardiography and said to me that the middle wall of the ventricle is thickened (1.7 to 1.8 cm) and it causes sudden death. My general health is good and I feel good. is it a serious problem? how can I prevent sudden death?!!
