title: Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in Pakistan: electrocardiographic, echocardiographic and myocardial scintigraphic features.
abstract: Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a recently recognised entity, with typical electrocardiographic, echocardiographic and myocardial scintigraphic features. Thallium imaging is more sensitive than echocardiography, but electrocardiogram appears to be an important clue to its diagnosis which shows changes in the mid precordial leads in most of the patients.
