Would i still be able to join the army with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

No: The diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy puts you at risk for a fatal arrhythmia.

Probably not: You may speak to a recruiter, but a heart condition, particularly one that has activity restrictions associated, may preclude you from enlisting. Talk to your cardiologist about your risks and restrictions, then talk to your recruiter.
