Hey.

Welcome to HCM.

In my opinion, cardiomegaly with slightly prominent pulmonary vasculature along with shortness of breath, can be an early indication of Cardiac abnormalities. But yes, this is not a rule.

If i were your treating doctor, i would have advised you 2D-ECHO CARDIOGRAPHY and ECG as well to rule out cardiac problems.

Then, based on the reports i would have treated you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, then i will be happy to help you.

Take care.:)

Warm Regards.
