Abstract:
Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a relatively rare subtype of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with a wide range of clinical manifestation. The most frequent symptom is chest pain and thus it can mimic the acute coronary syndrome and due to unfamiliarity of this condition by some physicians, the diagnosis is frequently missed or delayed. In this case, report our purpose is to emphasize the importance of keeping apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as one of the differential diagnoses in a young patient presented with chest pain.
