Unique ID: D000092183
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000092183
Scope Note: A hypertrophic cardiomyopathy characterized by apical hypertrophy, typically LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY (described as ace of spades sign), and deep T-wave inversions in EKG. Clinical symptoms include minor symptoms such as CHEST PAIN; DYSPNEA; and SYNCOPE to more complex symptoms such as ATRIAL FIBRILLATION; VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION; MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION and CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE. A transient left ventricular apical hypertrophy is sometimes associated with TAKOTSUBO CARDIOMYOPATHY.
