Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an uncommon form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy characterized by a compromise of the left ventricular apex and is distinguished by the ace morphology in the ventriculography. The heterogeneity and variability in the presentation of this pathology and the clinical course, make a diagnosis easily omitted. We describe a clinical case of a patient with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that debuted with precordial pain and syncope of cardiogenic origin. The purpose of this report is to review the main characteristics of a rare pathology, epidemiology, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment and thus, to provide medical personnel with the approach of this pathology in clinical practice.
