Often apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is diagnosed by mistake asor acute myocardial infarction and other form of ischemic heart disease. In view of the availability of ultrasound equipment and awareness of medical practitioners in this kind of pathology, the amount of the cases of diagnosed patients with of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy increases. However, there are still unresolved issues in the diagnosis of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Difficulties which arise in the course of diagnosis are discussed in this clinical case.
