Abstract
We presented an unique case of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy concomitant with subaortic obstruction, apical sequestration, and valvular aortic stenosis. The echocardiographic findings were conflicting and characterized by quadruple pressure gradients within the left ventricle, which were compatible with the findings of 64-slice computed tomography imaging and cardiac catheterization.
