Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) is one form of hypertrophic
cardiomy¬opathy that is the most common hereditary cardiac disease
and the most frequently found cardiomyopathy. AHCM has typical findings
on electrocardiography, echocardiography and ventricu¬lography.
The electrocardiographic changes and symptoms associated with AHCM
often mimic acute coronary syndromes and coronary angiogram can be
performed with pre-diagnosis of coronary artery disease several times.
Physicians should consider AHCM in case of patients who have similar
electrocardiographic changes and symptoms with coronary artery disease.Apikal hipertrofik kardiyomyopati (AHCM), en sık gözlenen
kalıtsal kalp hastalığı ve kardiyomyopati olan
