Need more info: The distribution of the thickness is needed. Is that a measure of the septum vs posterior wall ? Many types of hocm. Obstructive vs non obstructive. Generally septal thickness 25mm septum and 15 mm posterior wall would indicate hocm. Secondary causes should be ruled out. Clinical and and family history should be checked as well.

Probably not.: Generally, hcm is considered when the thickness is 15mm or more. Would review with your physician to make certain, however.
