AI Article Synopsis

  • Yamaguchi syndrome, also known as apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, is a rare type of non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy characterized by thickening of the left ventricular apex.
  • This condition is most commonly observed in Asian populations but can occur in other ethnic groups as well.
  • The text discusses an unusual case of Yamaguchi syndrome in a Hispanic female, highlighting the rarity of the condition outside typical demographic groups.

Article Abstract

Yamaguchi syndrome or apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a rare subtype of non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that is defined as the focused hypertrophy of the left ventricular apex. It is typically seen in Asian populations. Herein, we present a rare case of Yamaguchi syndrome seen in a Hispanic female.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant inherited cardiomyopathy characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy. It is one of the chief causes of sudden cardiac death in younger people and athletes. Molecular-genetic studies have confirmed that the vast majority of HCM is caused by mutations in genes encoding sarcomere proteins.
