Further, echocardiography (Figure 1) revealed normal systolic function with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) as 65%, apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy the wall thickness was up to 21mm with left ventricular obstruction, he underwent a coronarography, it revealed a double stenosis in the proximal and middle left anterior descending artery, and sever stenosis in the distal circumflex artery, he was taken for successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) through femoral route (Figure 2).

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) was performed, it detected apical LV hypertrophy up to 17mm in the apical anterior wall, 12mm in the apical inferior wall, 18mm in the apical septal and lateral walls, with fibrosis in the apex and apical segment of the LV (Figure 3).
