00:00Cardiomyopathy
00:04Cardiomyopathy is represented by an increase in the thickness of the walls of the heart
00:10and the cavity is therefore smaller in general.
00:14What happens is that if conditions are created for which an obstruction is formed,
00:20that is, a difficulty in getting blood out of the heart,
00:23clearly the patient becomes symptomatic.
00:26Maybe for years it has not been, but when the obstruction begins to be very frequently present,
00:33it begins to be symptomatic.
00:35And then the patient finally has a diagnosis that can also be complex,
00:40but that in the right seats, in the centers that already have experience,
00:44finds the solution to their problems,
00:46both on the pharmacological level and possibly on the surgical level.
00:50ICAR helps patients also in this.
00:53The bench represents a campaign that must start today
00:58and that tends to make this type of problem known,
01:02especially by hosting patients who have already had, in their vicinity,
01:09the possibility of having a correct diagnosis and above all to find the solution.
01:14The association has a service called Hearing Heart
01:18and Hearing Heart works with volunteers who answer patients' questions,
01:23which can be of various types, including those assuring,
01:27for example, of civil invalidity or problems that they may present
01:32in their therapeutic diagnosis.
01:35We only had over 300 requests last year
01:38and this is the service that is really helpful for people.
