  • People with left ventricular hypertrophy — a thickening of the heart's main pumping chamber — caused by inherited gene changes (HCM/HOCM) or a protein build-up condition called amyloidosis
  • People with Left Ventricular Non-Compaction Cardiomyopathy (LVNC) — a condition where the heart muscle has an unusual spongy structure
  • People with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC/D) — a condition affecting the right side of the heart muscle that can cause abnormal heart rhythms

Who may not be able to join:
