Abstract: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, as a primary condition or secondary to systemic hypertension, is a fairly common problem with a significant impact on the LV function and patient outcome. Multiple morphological variants have been described, in which,… read more here.

Abstract: Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an uncommon variant of HCM characterized by apical hypertrophy without the septal predominance seen in the majority of HCM cases. In 2% of patients, a concomitant left ventricular apical aneurysm… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is a reversible left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction occurred mostly in post-menopausal women after an emotional or physical stress. The exact mechanism has yet to be found. In clinical settings, TS… read more here.
