HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your son, you have not mentioned for what the boy went through the cardiac surgery in past, moreover the history given here is so inadequate so in my opinion its better to see the cardiologist as the boy has a history of some kind of cardiac disease, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
