Apical Hypertrophy with Massive Myocardial Fibrosis: Comparison with Electrocardiographic Changes.
Year: 1998
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: We report the case of a 48-year-old woman with apical hypertrophy with massive myocardial fibrosis. She was admitted to our hospital because of general malaise. Echocardiographic examination showed asymmetrical apical hypertrophy, and an electrocardiogram showed a giant negative T wave on V3-V6. Right ventricular endomyocardial biopsy revealed massive myocardial fibrosis. Apical hypertrophy can lead to disorders that vary in severity, including rare massive myocardial fibrosis.
