A rare case of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM)

Figure 1.. ECG of 46-year-old woman with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which revealed LVH pattern with diffuse T wave inversions.

Figure 2.. Echocardiogram of 46-year-old woman with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (a and b), which revealed severe symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with apical hypertrophy with near obliteration of the left ventricular cavity during systole.

Figure 3.. Cardiac catheterization of 46-year-old woman with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy during systole (a) and diastole (b). Findings were consistent with a spade shaped / Japanese variety / apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
