https://doi.org/10.30629/0023-2149-2025-103-10-11-827-835
Abstract
The article describes apical hypertrophic cardiopathy, its etiology and pathogenesis. A clinical case of a patient with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is presented. The features of the course of the disease, modern approaches to assessing the prognosis are described. The issues of differential diagnosis are considered.
