%X Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a rare variant of HCM. A 43-year-old female with a past medical history significant for hypertension and kidney transplantation presented with recurrent syncopal episodes and dyspnea on exertion. Electrocardiogram showed characteristic diffuse giant T-waves inversion, and cardiac magnetic resonance showed HCM with circumferential apical thickening. This case highlights the rapid development of apical HCM and its challenging diagnostic characteristics.
