Association of ST elevation with apical aneurysm in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Abstract: Clinicians and specifically echocardiographers must pay special attention on the electrocardiography to correctly detect the frequently overlooked apical aneurysm in HCM patients, and should be careful for apical aneurysm particularly in the presence of STE in V4-6 derivations.

“…8 ST-segment elevation in HCM is relatively rare, and the occurrence may be due to apical aneurysm (particularly in V4-V6 leads) and left ventricular hypertrophy (especially in V1-V3 leads). 9 However, HCM characterized by ST-segment elevation of the lateral wall as the main manifestation, such as this case, is very rare. In addition, extensive myocardial fibrosis may be another reason for myocardial inactivation, resulting in ST-segment elevation.…”

“…ECG abnormalities usually include abnormal P wave, Q wave (especially in the inferior and lateral leads), left axis deviation, and deeply inverted T waves in V2‐V4 leads (patients with apical HCM) 8 . ST‐segment elevation in HCM is relatively rare, and the occurrence may be due to apical aneurysm (particularly in V4–V6 leads) and left ventricular hypertrophy (especially in V1–V3 leads) 9 . However, HCM characterized by ST‐segment elevation of the lateral wall as the main manifestation, such as this case, is very rare.…”

“…Morphologies of QRS‐complexes and T‐waves have a varied range of spectrum and progression. Large T‐waves on the lateral leads correlated with apical aneurysm formation even in absence of symptoms . The shape of QRS‐complexes differed between rS, including rSr’, in anterior leads (El‐Sherif sign), and normal, high, or reduced R‐wave amplitude .…”

“…Finally, all patients with apical aneurysms have been considered high-risk due to the possibility of thrombus formation, ventricular tachyarrhythmia, sudden cardiac death and perfusion defects [8]. All of the above underline the importance of early diagnosis.…”
