OUR STORIES
THE EXPERIENCE OF FLORENCE
In 1972 the observations of the first patients began in Florence, which will then be followed up over time. The data collected in Florence, also together with other Italian and foreign centers, made it possible to recognize the various problems and try new therapies. This project leads first to the recognition of the Regional Reference Center for Cardiomyopathies, directed since 2002 by Prof. Franco Cecchi and then to the current one Cardiomyopathies Unit of the Careggi AOUC, directed by Prof Iacopo Olivotto. This path led to the foundation of AICARM.
Below, we've included the stories of some patients, as told by their own. They are patients who have been cared for and followed up over the years in Florence and other Italian facilities. These true stories can help us understand the moods, emotions, and even fears of those who live their lives with cardiomyopathy, as well as how this condition inevitably impacts their families.
