## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in a Hispanic woman, a condition typically found in Asian populations.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in documenting Yamaguchi syndrome in a Hispanic individual, expanding its known demographic range.

## Key findings

- Yamaguchi syndrome was diagnosed in a Hispanic female patient.
- The case highlights the rare occurrence of this condition outside of typical Asian populations.

## Abstract

Yamaguchi syndrome or apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a rare subtype of non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that is defined as the focused hypertrophy of the left ventricular apex. It is typically seen in Asian populations. Herein, we present a rare case of Yamaguchi syndrome seen in a Hispanic female.
