HI
Well come to HCM
Swelling is not the only sign that could provide the information about the prognosis but over all clinical condition is matter here, particularly vital function, if she is in deep coma then this is very uncertain to say anything patient could survive for days and months too. without the clinical examination, hope this information helps, take care.
