Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
It can be presumed that your doctor has rightly examined you and give his opinion.
For your satisfaction ultrasound of the region can be done with colour Doppler. If it is vascular structure, it can be detected during Doppler study.
Further treatment depends on that.
Take Care
