Patient treatment options for inherited cardiac conditions

The request was successful.

Dear Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust,

As a patient with an inherited cardiac condition (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) I would like to establish what centres within the ICS would I be under the care of? I.e., what hospitals have a dedicated inherited cardiac conditions team. If they do not have a dedicated team or would not treat the condition where would patients be referred to? Specifically, would a local hospital manage drug treatment up until the stage of surgery (septal ablation or surgical myectomy)? If surgery is not offered where would the patient be referred to?
