Résumé
We present a case of a 52-year-old African male patient diagnosed with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. He was initially diagnosed with hypertensive heart disease and placed on anti-failure treatment. Following multiple subsequent presentations and on closer review of his signs and symptoms, apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was considered. The diagnosis was made five years after his initial presentation and confirmed by echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. This case report explores his presentation and aims to provide further literature on the aetiology, description, and management of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, particularly within the African population.
