Excerpt
Cardiovascular sequelae represent a leading cause of mortality in Fabry disease. Early detection of cardiac involvement is therefore a subject of considerable interest. Low native T1 values have been shown to be associated with echocardiographic markers of early systolic and diastolic dysfunction, even in those without left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and conceptually could be used to optimise the efficacy of Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of both, native T1 and feature tracking CMR (FT-CMR) derived strain parameters, with maximal LV wall thickness and LVmass in Fabry's as a clinical marker of cardiac disease manifestation. …
