Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, often found in middle-aged men, presents with giant negative T waves and generally has a good prognosis. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is highly effective for diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Medical Imaging

Context:

  • Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHC) is a distinct form of cardiac hypertrophy.
  • Diagnosis often occurs during routine health screenings.

Purpose:

  • To review clinical and laboratory data of 120 AHC patients.
  • To emphasize electrocardiographic characteristics, natural course, and diagnostic capabilities of MRI.

Summary:

  • AHC is characterized by giant negative T waves in middle-aged men, with changes evolving over years.
  • Prognosis is typically good, though atrial fibrillation can lead to heart failure.
  • Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers superior diagnostic accuracy for muscular hypertrophy compared to left ventriculography.

Impact:
