Abstract

Mid-ventricular obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was diagnosed in a 72-year-old woman, referred to our hospital because of an episode of syncope. It was characterized by an abnormal ECG (ST segment elevation in leads V3 through V6 ) and the presence of pressure gradient between apical and basal sites in the left ventricle, asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy and an apical aneurysm on echocardiography.
