Cardiac pathology is one of the leading causes for global morbidity and mortality. Coronary heart disease is the commonest causes of sudden cardiac death throughout the world. Also, hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathies were recognized independently as the causes of sudden cardiac death in adults and elderly persons. However, progression of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to a dilated cardiomyopathy resulting in death is less commonly reported. Herein, we discuss a case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with features of dilatation of the cardiac chambers in an adult male which was diagnosed during the postmortem examination.
