Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I passed carefully through your question and would recommend performing a nuclear perfusional cardiac stress test in order to exclude coronary artery disease.
If this test results abnormal, a coronary angiogram would be needed.
In the meantime, I would recommend taking daily baby aspirin. Statins may be needed if he has been diagnosed with dyslipidemia.
You should discuss with his doctor on the above issues.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
