Case report: Apical variant hypertrophic cardiomyopathy simulating an acute inferior myocardial infarction

We present a female patient who arrived to the emergency department with chest pain without known medical history at the time of consultation. Considering her risk factors and electrocardiographic findings, it was decided to perform a coronary catheterization under the suspicion of acute myocardial infarction. The catheterization and another studies was negative for coronary artery disease. Additional studies were conclusive for apical variant hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or Yamaguchi syndrome.
