Electrocardiographic changes as a marker of improved subendocardial ischemia in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
We report a case of non-obstructive HCM, in which electrocardiographic changes were observed with improvement of subendocardial ischemia. A 76-year-old man presented with chest pain on exertion. The electrocardiogram revealed left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy with repolarization abnormalities. No coronary stenosis was found on computed tomography angiography, but thallium-201 exercise scintigraphy revealed transient LV cavity dilation after exercise, consistent with subendocardial ischemia.
