Contrast Echocardiography for Diagnosis of Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Most patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have asymmetric septal hypertrophy; and among them, 25% present dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Apical HCM is unusual. Echocardiography has been the first imaging method for patients with suspected HCM, but its shortcomings in evaluating the apex are well known. We present a 56-year-old woman with a history of left hemitho...
متن کاملApical 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...
