Main echocardiographic findings in Fabry disease.

CARDIAC STRUCTURE FINDINGS
Left ventricle Concentric left ventricular hypertrophy
Binary septum (low sensitivity and specificity for FD)
Prominent papillary muscles
Preserved LV function until end-stages
Diastolic dysfunction
Abnormal global longitudinal or radial strain, even in the absence of LVH
Right ventricle Right ventricular hypertrophy
Preserved RV function until end-stages
Abnormal global longitudinal strain even with preserved EF
Atrium Biauricular dilation
Increased end-diastolic pressure
Reduced auricular strain
Valves Increase in mitral and aortic valve thickness
Valvular regurgitation (generally, mild)
Aorta Dilation of the aortic root and the ascending aorta (not descending aorta)
