Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
We describe a patient with asymptomatic apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) who later developed cardiac arrhythmias, and briefly discuss the diagnostic modalities, differential diagnosis and treatment option for this condition. AHCM is a rare form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which classically involves the apex of the left ventricle. AHCM can be an incidental finding, or patients may pr...

متن کاملGene mutations in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Nonobstructive hypertrophy localized to the cardiac apex is an uncommon morphological variant of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) that often is further distinguished by distinct giant negative T waves and a benign clinical course. The genetic relationship between HCM with typical hypertrophic morphology versus isolated apical hypertrophy is incompletely understood. METHODS AND RES...
متن کاملMultimodality imaging in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) is a relatively rare morphologic variant of HCM in which the hypertrophy of myocardium is localized to the left ventricular apex. Symptoms of AHCM might vary from none to others mimic coronary artery disease including acute coronary syndrome, thus resulting in inappropriate hospitalization. Transthoracic echocardiography is the first-line imaging techni...
متن کاملTransient apical ballooning in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
A 79-year-old white woman with known hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) presented with sudden-onset chest pain and no identifiable stressor. Examination suggested a new apical 3/6 systolic murmur and pulmonary edema. A 12-lead electrocardiogram showed anterolateral wall ischemia. The patient’s peak troponin T level was 2.5 ng/mL. Echocardiography revealed a basal hypertrophied septu...
