title: Simultaneous hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and muscular ventricular septal defect in an adult patient.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The incidence of muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD) in children is rare, but its prevalence among hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients is surprisingly high.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present a 24-year-old female with HCM associated with muscular VSD without significant symptoms or hemodynamic implications.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging plays an important role in anatomic and functional noninvasive evaluation of these patients.
