title: Extensive scar myocardium in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with severe myocardial bridge.
abstract: We present a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and a large scar in the apex demonstrated on 201Tl SPECT and 18F-FDG PET images. Subsequent coronary angiography revealed no significant coronary artery stenosis but a myocardial bridge with severe systolic milking in the middle segment of the left anterior descending artery.
