Abstract
- An unusual form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy localized to the left ventricular apex is called apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In the classic form is characterized by giant T wave inversion in electrocardiogram and an angiographic silhouette showing enddiastolic deformation of the left ventricular cavity resembling a "spade". Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy appears functionally similar to other forms of nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The diagnosis of apical hypertrophic cardiomypathy is made chiefly from the 12 lead electrocardiogram, two-dimensional echocardiography, left ventriculogram and magnetic resonance imaging. The prognosis appears relatively favorable course. We report a case of regressed apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which was diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography and 12 lead electrocardiogram, with related literatures.
