[Apical bilateral hypertrophic myocardiopathy with mitral and greater tricuspid valve insufficiency].
The case of a patient with non-obstructive apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy diagnosed on criteria that are now conventional is reported. This case exhibited two special features: the apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was bilateral (i.e. the two ventricles were simultaneously involved) and it was associated with massive mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation. These two features are frequent in other types of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, but they have not yet been described in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. They support the concept that there is no definite border between the different types of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
