HI
Well come to HCM
I think the best way to rule out the possibility of ischemia, is EKG test because the pain of elbow may not be due to cardiac disease but could be due arthritis changes, better to get done the EKG and even much better would be coronary angioplasty, hope this information helps, take care.
