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.
