Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a rare form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and may mimic coronary artery disease. There are very limited data about apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy coexisting with coronary artery disease in the literature. We present an interesting case of coronary artery disease who was later found to have apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and a decrease in T wave negativity after coronary artery bypass grafting.
