Changes in hs‐TNT Level, LE‐Positive Myocardium, Cardiac Morphology, and Function During Follow‐up (n=58) in Patients With and Without ERT

No ERT ERT
n=37 n=21
hs‐TNT*, ng/L
Baseline 4.0 (4.0–10.4) 8.9 (4.8–30.1)
Follow‐up 6.1 (4.0–18.9) 14.6 (6.9–48.0),
LE‐positive myocardial volume, %
Baseline 0.2 (0–1.2) 0.6 (0–1.8)
Follow‐up 1.0 (0–2.3) 2.3 (0.6–3.9)
IVSd, mm
Baseline 10.3±2.2 12.6±3.2
Follow‐up 10.1±2.2 12.1±2.5
EF, %
Baseline 65±5 65±5
Follow‐up 64±6 62±7

Using repeated‐measures ANOVA followed by Tukey's post‐hoc test. EF indicates ejection fraction; ERT, enzyme replacement therapy; hs‐TNT, high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T; IVSd, end‐diastolic interventricular septal wall thickness; LE, late enhancement.

*Ln‐transformed.

P<0.05 vs no ERT.

P<0.05 vs baseline.
