Fabry's disease presenting as ventricular tachycardia and Left Ventricular 'Hypertrophy'

Abstract

Fabry's disease (FD) is a genetic disorder leading to deficiency of α-galactosidase A. Enzymatic replacement therapy has recently become available. Patients with classical FD develop multi-system involvement; however, there is an increasingly recognized cardiac variant that presents as unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy. We describe a patient with Fabry's disease who presented with ventricular tachycardia. © The Author 2008.
