Figures

None
Fig. 1 Normal electrocardiogram at the patient's initial presentation.
None
Fig. 2 Five years after the patient's initial presentation, deep T-wave inversions on the electrocardiogram suggest apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
None
Fig. 3 Echocardiogram shows thickening that suggests apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
None
Fig. 4 Magnetic resonance image shows apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
None
Fig. 5 Magnetic resonance image shows apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; small areas of delayed enhancement are consistent with apical fibrosis.
