Abstract
Midcavity left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is a less common form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). It is associated with apical aneurysms, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. Apical aneurysms can lead to the development of thrombi, and anticoagulation may be needed for individuals with this condition. Our case involves a 76-year-old female with HCM who had midcavity LV hypertrophy with obstruction and LV apical aneurysm formation. She developed a thrombus within the aneurysm, which was successfully treated with oral apixaban.
