3 Figure 2 An echocardiogram and a contrast echocardiogram showed predominant apical hypertrophy and a narrowing of the left ventricular cavity at the apex, resulting in a so-called ace of spades morphology. In the echocardiogram, the left ventricular cavity is displayed in black; in the contrast echocardiogram, the left ventricular cavity is white. Arrows indicate the cavity diameter at the apex and the base, and dotted lines illustrate the significant left ventricular wall thickening at the apex.
