Yamaguchi syndrome, also known as apical (Ap) hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), is a variant of cardiomyopathy that affects the apical region of the left ventricle. ApHCM is frequently misdiagnosed or missed because its symptoms are extremely similar to those of acute coronary syndrome. As clinicians are unfamiliar with this disease, diagnosis can be missed or delayed; as a result, this condition is frequently discovered by chance. ApHCM has a favorable long-term prognosis once properly diagnosed. We report a case of a 50-year-old male who was diagnosed with Yamaguchi syndrome incidentally.
山口综合征,也称为心尖部肥厚型心肌病(ApHCM),是一种影响左心室心尖区域的心肌病变体。心尖部肥厚型心肌病常被误诊或漏诊,因为其症状与急性冠状动脉综合征极为相似。由于临床医生对这种疾病不熟悉,可能会漏诊或延误诊断;因此,这种情况常常是偶然发现的。一旦正确诊断,心尖部肥厚型心肌病的长期预后良好。我们报告一例50岁男性偶然被诊断为山口综合征的病例。
