Abstract
- Pulmonary embolism is caused by various conditions including genetic and acquired factors, and among them, C and S protein deficiency are known as a cause of pulmonary embolism although their incidences are low. Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is known as a subtype of hypertrophic cardiomyopathies which was reported to be a cause of diastolic heart failure or thromboembolism by activating coagulation system, and this may have an effect on developing pulmonary embolism. We report this since we experienced a case of both C and S protein deficiencies in a patient with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who was diagnosed as pulmonary embolism and has been examined to find the cause of the disease.
