Brief Answer: Please ask patient specific questions. Detailed Answer: Hi. Thanks for the query. I am sympathetic at your situation, and I am willing to answer specific questions and give specific advice regarding your patient's condition. But the question you have put is entirely theoretical i nature and volumes of material can be found on the internet for free. You don't need a specialist wasting his precious time to answer such questions. The tone of your question is also not cordial. I request the HCM team to kindly do some screening before they post them.
