Hi, Welcome to HCM ,
best option is go with medicine and life style modification ,
EECP has some role in few selected patient but from my point of view your mother is not suitable candidate for EECP ,
adopt healthy life style , eat healthy food , restrict salt intake ,
do stress relaxing yogas ,
take care
