AI Article Synopsis
- * Multimodal cardiac imaging techniques, like echocardiography and cardiac MRI, are crucial for diagnosing and assessing the heart issues in FD patients.
- * The review highlights existing gaps in understanding cardiac findings in FD and emphasizes the importance of advanced imaging methods for better evaluation and management of the disease.
Article Abstract
Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder which leads to the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) in various organs, including the heart. FD can be subdivided into classic disease resulting from negligible residual enzyme activity and a milder, atypical phenotype with later onset and less severe clinical presentation. The use of multimodality cardiac imaging including echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance and nuclear imaging is important for the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation in these patients. There are gaps in the literature regarding the comprehensive description of cardiac findings of FD and its evaluation by multimodality imaging. In this review, we describe the contemporary practices and roles of multimodality cardiac imaging in individuals affected with Fabry disease.
