Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (ApHCM) is a unique form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy first described in Japan in 1976. The typical features of ApHCM consist of 'giant' negative T waves in the ECG and a 'spade-like' configuration of the left ventricular cavity detected by imaging techniques. We describe a case of an 84-year-old female in whom heart failure was the first symptom of the disease.
心尖肥厚型心肌病（ApHCM）是肥厚型心肌病的一种独特形式，于1976年在日本首次被描述。ApHCM的典型特征包括心电图上的“巨大”负向T波以及通过成像技术检测到的左心室腔呈“铲状”形态。我们描述了一例84岁女性病例，其心力衰竭是该疾病的首发症状。
