Tim Strazzo: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

November 7, 2024

Tim is an avid outdoorsman. He enjoys fly fishing, mountain biking, running and more. Tim is also a husband and father, so when he noticed he was getting short of breath after longer workouts, he quickly sought the opinion of a cardiologist. He was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a genetic condition where the heart muscle thickens and impacts the heart's function over time. Watch Tim's story to discover how he and his family are doing today.
