DOI: 10.1007/s12350-020-02066-8
Abstract: A 65-year-old male with no prior medical history was referred for cardiac evaluation of exertional chest pain and dyspnea. His electrocardiogram (ECG) showed deep T-wave inversions (Figure 1). Cardiovascular examination did not reveal any murmurs,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(18)33042-0
Abstract: Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (aHCM) is uncommon and apical myocardial infarction (MI) with normal coronary arteries is seen in 10% of these patients. We present an unusual case of aHCM with apical MI complicated by myopericarditis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(20)32404-9
Abstract: Contrast echocardiography aids in endocardial definition in stress testing, and we evaluated its use in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM). AHCM is characterized by severe apical hypertrophy, and complications include apical pouch development that is associated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/echo.13581
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.

DOI: 10.1111/echo.15588
Abstract: BACKGROUND Right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH+) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy occurs in one third of patients, however, outcomes in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (ApHCM) have not been described. We hypothesized that RVH+ in ApHCM is associated with more… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.993631
Abstract: Background Cardiac tumors are usually metastatic. Melanoma is the tumor with the highest rate of cardiac metastasis. Clinicians need to be aware of the metastatic involvement of the left ventricular apex as a differential diagnosis… read more here.
