Abstract:
This is a patient case report of an adult onset progressive giant T wave inversion without valvular or coronary artery disease, which was confirmed to be showing apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) by cardiac MRI. AHCM is a relatively rare form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) accounting for only 3% of all cases of HCM. Relatively little is known regarding prognosis and optimal management of this condition compared to HCM. We present a case report of AHCM and a review of the literature available regarding this condition.
