Yamaguchi Syndrome - An underdiagnosed entity
Keywords:
apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, pseudoinfarct pattern
Abstract
AHCM [apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy] has typical findings on electrocardiography, echocardiography and left ventricular angiography. The electrocardiographic changes and symptoms associated with AHCM often mimic acute coronary syndromes also called pseudoinfarct pattern and coronary angiogram can be performed with pre-diagnosis of coronary artery disease several times. Physicians should consider AHCM in patients with similar electrocardiographic changes and symptoms as that of acute coronary syndrome.
