Abstract :
A 38-year-old male patient with a history of myocardial infarction was admitted to our hospital for routine follow-up control. He had a history of hypertension and chronic renal failure, followed by medical treatment with no hemodialysis (glomerular filtration rate was 25 mL/ min/1.73 m2). Transthoracic echocardiography revealed concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and intramyocardial fissure (arrows) in the posterolateral wall during systole and diastole (Fig. 1-2 and Video 1. See corresponding video/movie images at www.anakarder.com). The patient had normal global ejection fraction (65%) and no regional wall motion abnormalities.
