Abstract

In the past few years, the wide application of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) significantly changed the approach to the study of cardiac involvement in Fabry Disease (FD). The possibility to perform non-invasive tissue characterization, including new sequences such as T1/T2 mapping, offered a powerful tool for differential diagnosis with other forms of left ventricular hypertrophy. In patients with confirmed diagnosis of FD, CMR is the most sensitive non-invasive technique for early detection of cardiac involvement and it provides new insight into the evolution of cardiac damage, including gender-specific features. Finally, CMR multiparametric detection of subtle changes in cardiac morphology, function and tissue composition is potentially useful for monitoring the efficacy of specific treatment over time. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of current knowledge regarding the application of CMR in FD cardiac involvement and its clinical implication.
