Abstract
This case report is about an elite athlete in the Hong Kong Sports Institute who was diagnosed apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy through periodic medical assessment with history taking, physical examination, 12-lead resting ECG and subsequent imaging investigations. The challenge of differentiating pathological condition from physiological adaptation of an athlete with electrocardiographic changes was solved by using the latest international consensus which was advanced by new emerging research data.
