A Case of Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Combined Acute Myocardial Infarction with Multiple Coronary Thrombosis

Introduction Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a variant of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) characterized by a spade-shape configuration on echocardiographic examination. It often accompanies a quite normal or even larger coronary arteriogram. Therefore acute myocardial infarction with significant atherosclerosis is rarely reported in patients with apical HCM or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Also there was no report of apical HCM combined with acute myocardial infarction and multiple coronary thrombosis. We report a rare case of typical apical HCM, who developed acute myocardial infarction due to multiple coronary thrombosis.
