Description
Summary:Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an uncommon morphologic variant of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is rarely diagnosed in childhood. To date, very few cases of asymptomatic children younger than 18 years have been reported in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of paediatric apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy presenting with exertional chest pain, with characteristic electrocardiographic, echocardiographic, MRI, and cardiac angiography findings.
