Article Synopsis
  • Fabry Disease cardiomyopathy (FDc) and sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) show similar hypertrophic heart features, particularly anomalies of the mitral valve apparatus (AMVA), which were assessed in this study for better diagnosis and understanding of disease progression.
  • The study involved 80 Fabry patients and 40 HCM patients, utilizing cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging to measure various AMVA and compare groups with similar levels of left ventricular hypertrophy.
  • Results indicated that Fabry patients exhibited greater hypertrophy of papillary muscles compared to HCM patients, alongside significant anomalies like apical displacement, supporting the idea that AMVA may serve as early indicators in Fabry disease. *
