The CT coronally reconstructed images show a small left ventricular (LV) cavity (red circle ,a,b,c,d) intracavitary calcification (white arrow a,b), apical LV hypertrophy (LVH, red arrows b, and c) and a small pericardial effusion (blue arrow, d) The patient is a 73-year-old female with apical hypertrophic disease. She has a history of diastolic heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, CREST, esophageal stricture, COPD and chronic renal failure
