title: [Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: description of a case in advanced age with documentation of electrocardiographic course].
abstract: We describe a case of non-obstructive apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in an 86-year-old Caucasian patient, whose electrocardiographic and echocardiographic patterns coincided with those originally described by the Japanese Authors. We documented the evolution of the patient's electrocardiographic alterations over a 16-year period, in absence of symptoms, except for one syncopal episode, which occurred 13 years ago.
