Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that the risk of a cardiac arrhythmia may be present, due to the trauma.
Anyway, it depends on the possible cardiac injury and other commorbidities.
For this reason, I would like to directly review his cardiac ultrasound and ECG, coupled with blood lab tests (and cardiac enzymes), if you can upload them for a more professional opinion.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
