Hi There

After going through he medical details of your father i would like to tell you that Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) usually is inherited (Genetical) . It is caused by a change in some of the genes in heart muscle proteins. HCM also can develop over time because of high blood pressure or aging. Diseases such as diabetes or thyroid disease can cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

No Ayurveda do have treatment for disorders like hypertension, thyroid, diabetes but not for HCM. Although in modern medicine it can be corrected with Surgical Shaving off of the heart muscles or by Alcohol Septal Abaltion.

I wish him good health
