Contrast echo and CMR detect apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy missed by an initially normal echocardiogram.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the critical role of multimodality imaging in accurately diagnosing apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy when initial echocardiography is unrevealing.

May support multimodality imaging for apical HCM missed on initial echo; hypothesis-generating case report requiring prospective validation.
Briani et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (n=1). Multimodality imaging was evaluated. Multimodality imaging, including contrast echocardiography and cardiac MRI, successfully diagnosed apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in a 64-year-old man after an initially normal echocardiogram.
