Description

Fabry disease (OMIM 30150) is caused by mutations in the gene (AGAL) encoding for the lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A. Diminished activity of this enzyme results in progressive accumulation of its substrate globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) in the lysosomes of various cell types, including vascular endothelial cells, cardiomyocytes, valvular fibrocytes, conduction cells. The involvement of the heart in Fabry disease results in rhythm disturbances, progressive hypertrophy and scarring of the left ventricle leading to diastolic and systolic dysfunction. Conventional diagnostic methods such as e...

  • * Cardiac MRI within 3 years documenting cardiac involvement in Fabry disease (left ventricular hypertrophy and/or late gadolinium enhancement and/or myocardial oedema)
  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • * Any other diagnosis associated with cardiac muscle inflammation, including myocarditis

  • * Women of child bearing potential not using adequate contraception
  • * Uncontrolled atrial fibrillation
  • * Any medical condition, in the opinion of the investigator, that prevents the participant from lying flat during scanning, or from participating in the study
