Introduction: Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (Apical HCM) is an uncommon variant of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, but it is relatively more common in Asian countries. This is a retrospective, non-randomised, single centre study of patients with Apical HCM focusing on their diastolic dysfunction grading, echocardiographic parameters and electrocardiograms (ECG).
Methods: All Apical HCM patients coming for clinic visits at the Institut Jantung Negara from September 2017 to September 2018 were included.
Anencephaly (APH) is characterized by the absence of brain tissues and cranium. During primary neurulation stage of the embryo, the rostral part of the neural pore fails to close, leading to APH. APH shows a heterogeneous etiology, ranging from environmental to genetic causes.
