Abstract
We present a case who was initially thought to have an acute coronary syndr ome but who was later diagnosed to have an apical hypertrophic cardiomyopat hy. Interestingly, the diagnosis could be established with left heart cathe terization, not echocardiography. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. Al l rights reserved.
