ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Presentation in Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Recent studies demonstrate the relevance of apical ischemia in the pathophysiology of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This finding could explain why some patients may exhibit chest pain and dynamic ST-segment changes simulating an acute coronary syndrome. We present a paradigmatic case of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with normal coronary arteries presenting with prolonged chest pain and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
