HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, look in medicine particularly situation like this patient's relatives feels very uncomfortable but looking to the disease some time medical team has to take certain decision which sounds danger to patient's relatives and to patient also, but you have to be more patience, I am sure that the medical team will take great care of your brother, in such cases without the exact clinical examination and going through the report can't suggest any treatment hope you can understand this, and wishing for rapid recovery of your brother, bye.
