  • Title: Identical twins with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and apical aneurysm.
    Author: Zenovich AG, Lesser JR, Hanna CA, Maron BJ.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 2006 Apr 01; 97(7):1109. PubMed ID: 16563928.
    Abstract:
    Left ventricular apical aneurysms, in absence of coronary artery disease, occur in approximately 1% of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC). Identical twins, age 44 years, are presented with HC and identical LV morphology, including apical aneurysms. These cases demonstrate a genetic predisposition to the development of apical aneurysm, as well as overall LV morphology, in patients with HC.
