Q: Left Ventricular hypertrophy - make-a-wish foundation ?

I have a 14 year old that was diagnosed with left ventricular hypertrophy. SHe is now experiencing near-syncope while exercising. The d.r said that if she has another episode to bring her back. Is this considered a chronic life-threatning condition? The make-a-wish foundation is for children ages 3-18 diagnosed with life-threatning medical conditions. For example:cancer, arthritis, um heart conditions(but i dont know which) and for other conditions such as sickle cell anemia..etc.

I dont know if she would be eligible or not. Her walls are thicking at a fast rate: .3(cm i think thats the measurement) in 6 months. She is seeing the cardiologist every 4 months now. She is taking Atenolol.

Is she eligible?
