A case report demonstrates the typical scintigraphic and cardiac echocardiographic findings of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Case Report (n=1)
The report presents typical scintigraphic and echocardiographic findings of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, common in Japan, is characterized by a spade-like configuration of the left ventricle on contrast angiography. The condition is identified by giant negative T waves in the precordial echocardiographic leads, no intraventricular pressure gradient, and mild symptoms. A case showing the typical scintigraphic and cardiac echocardiographic findings of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is presented.
Chu et al. (2002) conducted a case report in Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (n=1). SPECT Imaging and echocardiography was evaluated. A case report demonstrates the typical scintigraphic and cardiac echocardiographic findings of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
