Subaortic and mid-ventricular obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with an apical aneurysm: a case report.

Background: Most patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have asymmetric septal hypertrophy and among them, 25% present dynamic subaortic obstruction. Apical HCM is unusual and mid-ventricular HCM is the most infrequent presentation, but both variants may be associated to an apical aneurysm. An even more rare presentation is the coexistence mid-ventricular and apical HCM.
