Abstract:
We describe an interesting case of a patient who had Takayasu's arteritis and apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Electrocardiogram, and transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograms showed classical features of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which is particularly uncommon outside Japan. To the best of our knowledge, the presence of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in patients with Takayasu's arteritis has not been reported till date.
