Abstract

We report the clinical case of a 78-year-old woman with a history of angina on effort and dyspnea (Functional Class II New York Heart Association), whose echocardiographic, angiographic and cardiac resonance diagnosis indicated apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, coronary microfistulas of the circumflex-ventricular artery to the left ventricle and myocardial bridging of the anterior descending artery. A beta-blocker has been associated with the therapeutic regimen with partial improvement of symptoms. The patient presented a favorable clinical course, not evolving to heart failure or acute coronary syndrome.  This case reports the rare association between apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy coronary microfistulas and myocardial bridging, factors that can worsen symptoms and confuse diagnoses.
