Hello. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy itself is a risk of sudden death, moreover, the child has a history of syncope, so the rate will be higher. However, currently very developed medicine can prevent you. You should see a Cardiologist soon and especially a doctor who specializes in arrhythmias to better manage and advise you.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
