SÍNDROME DE YAMAGUCHI – RELATO DE CASO

Yamaguchi Syndrome is a subtype of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy characterized by hypertrophy in the left ventricular apex. It is a rare syndrome in Brazil, being commonly found in Japan. It has a wide clinical spectrum, ranging from asymptomatic patients to sudden death. Diagnosis is elucidated through changes in the electrocardiogram and echocardiogram, with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging being the most specific exam. The initial treatment is clinical, and may be extended to surgical procedures if refractory to drug management. This study aims to present a clinical case of Yamaguchi Syndrome in a patient in the state of Ceará, emphasizing the importance of including the syndrome in the differential diagnosis of symptoms with chest pain, dyspnea and palpitations.
