Isolated left ventricular apical hypoplasia is a newly recognized type of cardiomyopathy, with only a few cases reported since it was first described in 2004. We report this case of a 21-year-old Filipino female presenting with unstable supraventricular arrhythmia and heart failure, with characteristic features of isolated left ventricular apical hypoplasia on echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. To our knowledge, this is the first reported adult case in Asia.
孤立性左心室心尖发育不全是一种新发现的心肌病类型，自2004年首次被描述以来，仅有少数病例报道。我们报告了一名21岁菲律宾女性患者，她表现为不稳定的室上性心律失常和心力衰竭，超声心动图和心脏磁共振成像显示具有孤立性左心室心尖发育不全的特征。据我们所知，这是亚洲首例报道的成人病例。
