Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a case of symptomatic Japanese type apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
A 61-year-old male patient was hospitalized due to the exertional angina pectoris. A diagnosis of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was made by ECG (electrocardiography), echocardiographic, and coronary angiographic findings. This case was reported and related literature was reviewed because of its similarity to Japanese type apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCMP) cases rarely seen outside Asia.
