| Abstract;A 41-year-old man was referred to our hospital for further examination because of abnormal electrocardiography findings at a health-check examination. Transthoracic echocardiography showed left ventricular hypemophy confined to the most distal portion of the left ventricle, which is a typical feature of apical hypenrophic cardiomyopathy. Ten years later, he was again admitted for the evaluation of chest pain. Echocardiography showed asymmetrical septal hypertrophy in addition to apical hypertrophy. These findings demonstrate morphologic evolution in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from apical hypertrophy to asymmetrical septal hypemophy. (author abst.) |
