Key result
Electrophysiological study in a young man with Fabry cardiomyopathy and preserved left ventricular function did not reveal inducible arrhythmia or cardiac conduction abnormalities.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the limited knowledge regarding electrophysiological findings in Fabry cardiomyopathy and emphasizes the need for optimized sudden cardiac death risk stratification strategies.
Does not support electrophysiological testing for SCD risk in Fabry cardiomyopathy; leaves open optimal stratification strategies.
We report a case of Anderson-Fabry disease in a young man presenting with cardiac hypertrophy and asymptomatic non-sustained ventricular tachycardia. The patient was referred for evaluation of implantable cardioverter/defi brillator therapy. Assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction is considered the gold standard for identifying patients at risk of sudden cardiac death. However, this patient’s left ventricular function was preserved. Electrophysiological study did not reveal inducible arrhythmia or cardiac conduction abnormalities. Review of the literature indicates limited knowledge on the electrophysiology of Fabry cardiomyopathy and highlights the need for optimized risk stratifi cation strategies. Keywords Electrophysiological study – Fabry cardiomyopathy – implantable cardioverter/defi brillator – risk stratifi cation – sudden cardiac death.

Li et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Anderson-Fabry disease (Fabry cardiomyopathy) (n=1). Electrophysiological study was evaluated on Inducible arrhythmia or cardiac conduction abnormalities. Electrophysiological study in a young man with Fabry cardiomyopathy and preserved left ventricular function did not reveal inducible arrhythmia or cardiac conduction abnormalities.
