Nonischemic ST‐segment elevation may be confused as acute ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), especially in patients with atypical presenting symptoms. Among the possible differential diagnosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) should be considered. Mid‐ventricular obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (MVOHCM) is a rare type of cardiomyopathy, accounting for approximately 5% of all HCM cases. ST‐segment elevation on electrocardiogram (ECG) in patients with MVOHCM is a rare clinical presentation. We present a case of MVOHCM and apical aneurysm mimicking acute STEMI
