I'm sure your doctors already know this, but there are definitive treatments for people with HCM. Basically it's shaving off the thickened middle ("septal") part of the heart so when it squeezes there's more room for the blood.

• Non-surgical alcohol septal ablation
• Surgical septal myectomy

Very cool! I wonder if it targets septal myocytes over the rest of the heart, or if the overall atrophy is simply worth it.
