Tongning Wang , Hui Chen, Xiaohai Ma and Zhanming Fan

Isolated left ventricular apical hypoplasia (LVAH) is a newly recognized, rare cardiomyopathy which was first described in 2004. Until now, only 20 English-language literatures in relationship with Isolated LVAH were collected from PubMed by the author of this article. We report a case of 50-year-old man by health-examination without any symptom as this patient was first diagnosed in our hospital. This article includes two parts: case report and literature review.
