Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should not worry much for her x ray report as it is normal.
Blood follows gravity. So lower parts of lungs are having more blood supply.
And blood is more radio opaque then surrounding air.
So vessels of lower part, having more blood appear prominent on chest x ray. So x ray reporting of prominent Broncho vascular markings are seen.
Lung hilu is having all major vessels supplying lung. So it is also appearing more prominent.
So no need to worry for this report as it is normal.
I find this answer helpful
