Dear Sir/ Madam
thanks for your query.
HOCM is a genetically determined thickening of muscles of heart. This can have a range of severity and presentation. Most importantly he should have a good echocardiogram. Need for an angiogram will depend upon his symptoms and ECHO findings. Not all patients with HOCM are at high risk. Have patience and get him evaluated at a good center.
