Cardiomyopathy

I think my first roommate in college is one of the people who died from this. It seems like a terrible thing for the parents to go through - young people that just never wake up one day. And 1 in 500 seems like a very high rate of incidence, enough that a better form of screening should be found. It seems like there are organizations devoted to reducing the effects of the disease, and, of course, information about cardiomyopethy from the good people at the NIH. At least some of your tax dollars are going to help people.
