Welcome to HCM
More information is necessary about the murmur – location, intensity, radiation, influence by manoeuvres and so on
An Echocardiogram is also necessary for diagnosis
It is wiser to hold competitive sport until diagnosis is established…. A stress ECG is often necessary to advise on the level of exercise that can be undertaken
