Brief Answer:
Consult XXXXXXX or PGI XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.
You might be talking about lung transplant.
It is in very preliminary stage in XXXXXXX
It is indicated in end stage Pulmonary disease like COPD, Pulmonary fibrosis, severe cor pulmonale etc.
But it should be done only after failure of optimal drug treatment.
So better to consult in good Institute like XXXXXXX or PGI XXXXXXX before deciding about lung transplant. I have gone through her blood report.
Please let me know if she had CT scan or other investigations, so that I can guide you better.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing her good health.
Thanks.
