That said — distinction between "classic" HCM vs the apical HCM for m may be useful because: i ) ECG findings tend to be different ( Lyon et al — Europace 20:102-112iii, 2018 ) ; — ii ) Echo appearance is different when hypertrophy localizes to the apex; and , iii ) There is a significantly greater incidence of AFib with apical HCM.

PEARL #1: The most commonly overlooked arrhythmia is AFlutter ( A trial F lutter ). At the time, it seemed that virtually all cardiac patients with chronic AFib or heart failure were on this medication.
