ABSTRACT
A 30-year-old female patient was referred to our centre due to an abnormal electrocardiography showing left ventricular hypertrophy. The physical examination was normal, and the patient was asymptomatic. Echocardiography was performed, revealing an atypical pattern of left ventricular hypertrophy with heterogeneous echogenicity of the left ventricular walls. A cardiac magnetic resonance examination revealed marked thickening of the interventricular septum and left and right ventricular walls. The signal intensity of the thickened ventricular walls was increased and was similar to that of subcutaneous fat. Follow-up echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance showed no progression of left ventricular hypertrophy.
