Table 1 Comparison of echocardiography and MRI findings between Anderson-Fabry and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Echocardiography | ||
|---|---|---|
| Â | Anderson-Fabry | HCM |
LVH pattern | Concentric>Asymmetric | Asymmetric>Concentric |
Resting LVOT gradient | Rare | 25–30% |
Massive LVH> 30 mm | Rare | 10–15% |
LV diastolic dysfunction (tissue Doppler, strain rate) | Â | Â |
With LVH | Yes | Yes |
Without LVH (genotype +) | Yes | Yes |
LV systolic dysfunction | More frequent especially in older males | Â |
Magnetic resonance | ||
Most common site of late-enhancement (if present) | Infero-lateral segment | Ventricular junction, Multi-focal |
