apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with midventricular obstruction.
Case Discussion
This pattern of sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is less common than the anteroseptoapical asymmetrical classical one and less common than the inferoseptal pattern one.
Prognosis with this apical pattern is probably worsened due to increased incidence of adverse cardiac events.
