HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is all depend upon the test result of MRI, without the complete clinical examination and history it can not be predict anything but looking to your age it could come around with medical treatment alone, hope this information may helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
