Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you should not worry at present. Definitely stop smoking at earliest. First degree AV block is due to conduction anomaly and does not cause much trouble. Since you are having positive family history of heart disease you should consult cardiologist and get done 2D Echo. But my priority is still quiting smoking habit.
