Key result
In a 56-year-old woman with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and an apical aneurysm, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator provided several appropriate therapies for malignant arrhythmias over one year.
Case Report (n=1)

An LV apical aneurysm in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can mimic an anterior myocardial infarction and carries a high risk of malignant arrhythmias requiring ICD implantation.
May support ICD use in HCM with apical aneurysm; leaves open need for prospective risk-stratification data.

Jaworski et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular apical aneurysm (n=1). Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) was evaluated on Adequate ICD therapies. In a 56-year-old woman with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and an apical aneurysm, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator provided several appropriate therapies for malignant arrhythmias over one year.
