Abstract

A 66-year-old Turkish male patient admitted to our emergency department with a transient ischemic attack (TIA) is described. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and an ECG sinus rhythm. Transesophageal echocardiography detected severe spontaneous echocontrast (SEC) in the left atrial (LA) cavity with apical hypertrophy.
