Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Cardiac bypass will never cure the disease it will only bypass the existing disease
like a highway laid parallel to a congested mainroad
i would advice you to do a coronary angiogram test to know the prent condition of your heart vessels before jumping to specific treatments

Discuss this with your doctor and then decide.
Hope i have answered your query.
Get well soon.
