                         Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D


         This  statement  amends the Schedule  13D,  dated June 26,  1997,  (the
"Schedule  13D") filed by Dickstein & Co., L.P.  ("Dickstein & Co."),  Dickstein
Focus Fund L.P. ("Dickstein Focus"), Dickstein International Limited ("Dickstein
International"),  Dickstein Partners,  L.P.  ("Dickstein  Partners"),  Dickstein
Partners Inc.  ("Dickstein Inc.":) and Mark Dickstein with respect to the Common
Stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock") of Healthdyne  Technologies,  Inc., a
Georgia corporation (the "Company").  Notwithstanding  this Amendment No. 1, the
Schedule 13D speaks as of its date.  Capitalized  terms used without  definition
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

I.       ITEM 3 OF THE SCHEDULE 13D, "SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR
         OTHER CONSIDERATION" IS AMENDED AND RESTATED IN ITS ENTIRETY
         AS FOLLOWS:

         "The shares of Common  Stock  reported to be owned by  Dickstein & Co.,
Dickstein  Focus and Dickstein  International  were acquired in the open market.
Giving  effect to certain  purchases  and sales of the Common Stock made by each
such entity, the total cost of the reported shares by Dickstein & Co., Dickstein
Focus and Dickstein  International was $7,594,971,  $1,630,936,  and $1,267,848,
respectively.  Such costs were funded out of working capital,  which may, at any
given time,  include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course
of business.
