It is a disease which is present since his birth. It has a definite risk of sudden cardiac death. And it runs in families, you should also get yourself tested by 2d echo.
Surgery is the best option here, but it is a major surgery which has its own risk.. so discuss the pros and cons with your doctor and take the right dcsn.
