Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would like to tell you that ASH means asymmetrical septal hypertrophy which happens when heart muscle cell enlarge and make walls of heart chambers thick. It won't let heart squeeze properly during increased activity and can hamper heart function which requires proper medicines to lower the symptoms as disease is irreversible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
