“…An increase in wall thickness of 5 to 7 mm in 26 months was considered implausible secondary to HCM, and, as expected in myocarditis, septal hypertrophy resolved on follow-up. The finding of transient LVH in myocarditis has been rarely described in the literature previously, 7 , 8 and the incidence remains unknown.…”

“…2 Prior studies have pointed out that HCM may sometimes manifest in a manner that resembles myocardial infarction. [3][4][5][6] Furthermore, there is a documented case indicating that myocardial edema, observed during the acute phase of Takotsubo syndrome 7 or myocarditis 8,9 Prior to the acute event, the patient underwent an echocardiogram, which revealed no alterations. Consequently, the observed increase in wall thickness of 5-7 mm over an 18-month period was deemed improbable as a result of HCM.…”

“…Furthermore, there is a documented case indicating that myocardial edema, observed during the acute phase of Takotsubo syndrome 7 or myocarditis 8,9 can also mimic HCM. Myocardial fluid balance relies on microvascular filtration, interstitial hydration, cardiomyocyte water uptake, and lymphatic drainage.…”

“…Prior studies have pointed out that hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may sometimes manifest in a manner that resembles myocardial infarction. [1][2][3][4] Furthermore, there is a documented case indicating that myocardial edema, observed during the acute phase of Takotsubo syndrome 5 or myocarditis 6,7 can also mimic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.…”
