Thanks for your question on HCM. Yes it can happen in congestive cardiac failure (CCF). CCF is condition in which heart fails to circulate blood. So due to back pressure, there is accumulation of fluid in everywhere. Starting from feet( swollen feet), in abdomen (ascites), in lungs (pulmonary edema), pleural cavity (pleural effusion) etc. Rarely scrotum as dependent part of the body can have fluid collection and thus swelling. So in CCF pulmonary edema can cause breathlessness and fluid overload can cause scrotal swelling.
