hi thanks for posting on hcm.
i would recommend you to undergo angiography as you are already aware it shows the extent of blocks if the percentage of blocks increases it causes problem with the circulation of blood to heart and result in heart attacks by repeating the procedure complications can be overcome by taking preventive measures. as everyone knows prevention is better than cure.
hope this could be of some help to you.
