Abstract
Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is rare familial form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, with hypertrophy mainly affecting the apex of the left ventricle and characterized by a spade-like left ventricular cavity. Despite varying presentation, impaired capabilities of some standard instrumental methods and dissent on diagnostic criteria several diagnostic characteristics estimated by various noninvasive imaging modalities make it possible to establish a diagnosis with high accuracy. We hereby describe a case with electrocardiographic abnormalities and chest pain with suspected acute coronary syndrome. Acute coronary syndrome was excluded as well as performing invasive coronary angiography was avoided using advanced diagnostic tools including single photon emission computed tomography and apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was demonstrated by careful differential diagnosis.
