HCM condition: EASA and FAA

[Pilot Positive]

Does anyone have any experience or input with regards to the diagnosed condition of Hypertrophy Cardio Myopathy? ECG showed an abnormality...EASA requested an MRI and it showed HCM. C1 Suspended.

Funnily enough FAA had the same ECG but has not requested anythig...possibly based on previous different tests. C1 still valid.

Thoughts, ideas, experiences and expertise welcome.

Thanks.

ECG findings are non-specific for HCM - so a diagnosis can only be confirmed with imaging (usually unexplained wall thickness of at least 15 mm).

I had problem on my ECG which was a possible HCM so I had to go and see a consultant. It wasn't that. I had a dilated Aortic Root instead. Open heart surgery just before Christmas and still waiting to get my medical back. But I was lucky and unlucky. Most apparently are nothing.

@ Qwikstop: I think the MRI report states thickness to be 8mm. Know what the rules for the FAA are?

@ Good luck with your renewal...did the authority to you how long the process might be...?

8mm wall thickness is normal.
