Hi
Thank you for trusting and asking HCM
I read your query and understand your concern
Unfortunately at such ages it so difficult to resist big surgeries like heart surgery
It is recommended that conservative treatment is the best option
Cardiologist depending on the severity of valvular dysfunction should decide the dosage of diuretics, inotrops and anticoagulation
Patient treated in the right way may stay safe for a long time
Hope my answer will help you
Stay healthy
