“…In these circumstances the apical hypertrophy is due to transient myocardial edema, which can be detected utilizing cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (Izgi et al, 2015). Differentiating between left Singh et al (Singh et al, 2008) ventricular hypertrophy due to apical HCM or SCM-induced myocardial edema can be achieved by observing subsequent electrocardiograms for markedly increased precordial and standard lead voltages and chronically persisting giant negative T waves, and by comparing old and follow up echocardiograms (Madias, 2014;Maron, 2001). There is no conflict of interest to disclose from the author and co-authors.…”

Stress cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are two distinct entities with different pathophysiologic causes. In the recent medical literature their concurrency has been described. During the acute phase of a stress cardiomyopathy making the diagnosis of a concomitant hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may be challenging, and has important implications in both the acute and longterm clinical management. Herein, we present a case of a stress cardiomyopathy occurring in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, along with a review of the literature.
