hello,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
Echocardiogram will show the Dysfunction of ventricles in the form of reduced Ejection fraction.It may also point towards towards cause of CCF e.g.Ischaemic,hypertensive or ideopathic cardiomyopathy,It may give many more information depending upon underlying cause,
My best wishes
