A 16-month-old girl was referred for tachycardia and upper respiratory tract infection. Echocardiographic examination revealed pericardial effusion, mild mitral regurgitation, and left ventricle systolic dysfunction. Patient was positive for Parainfluenza type 4 virus. Her laboratory tests revealed increased troponin I level. The patient was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin considering acute viral myopericarditis. Two weeks after treatment, midventricular hypertrophy was detected.

In this study, we discuss a female patient referred to cardiology with left ventricular hypertrophy at mid-ventricular segments resulting in a mid-cavitary obstruction and a left ventricular apical aneurysm. The patient had normal epicardial coronary arteries, but presented with recurrent cerebrovascular events. The patient had a positive family history for sudden cardiac death.

A primigravida 26-year-old woman who had developed pre-eclampsia with malignant hypertension at 30 weeks of gestation suffered acute myocardial infarction two days postpartum. Electrocardiogram demonstrated diffuse ST-segment depression suggestive of subendocardial ischemia. Echocardiography demonstrated focal asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy, with a characteristic "basal septal bulge", and a left ventricular mid-cavitary gradient of 51 mmHg.

A 54-year-old female with Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD)-R342Q missense mutation on exon 7 in alpha-galactosidase A (GLA) gene - presented with sustained ventricular tachycardia. Imaging confirmed the presence of a new left ventricular apical aneurysm (LVAA) and a significantly reduced intra-cavitary gradient compared to two years prior. AFDcv is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by GLA enzyme deficiency.
