Why the study?
Left ventricular apical aneurysms can develop in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and are linked to an adverse prognosis, but basal segment aneurysms present an unusual pattern.
This case highlights an unusual presentation of a basal segment aneurysm in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, emphasizing the importance of careful echocardiographic evaluation.

Calls for full LV evaluation in HCM; extends aneurysm phenotype beyond apex and leaves prognostic implications open.
