Abstract

We report a case of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy combined with acute myocardial infarction and multiple coronary thrombosis. The patient presented with signs and symptoms of acute myocardial infarction, showing ST elevation in the lateral leads and ST depression in anterior chest leads on initial electrocardiogram. The coronary angiogram on admission, multiple thrombosis of distal left anterior descending artery, left circumflex, diagonal and obtuse marginal arteries were found. The present case shows that apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can be combined with acute myocardial infarction and multiple coronary thrombosis.
