[Abstract] Objective To analyze the characteristics of left ventricular myocardial strain in Fabry disease and its value in differential diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).Materials and Methods A total of 10 cases with Fabry disease confirmed by pathology or gene in our hospital from January 2018 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. At the same time, clinical data of 20 sex-and age-matched HCM patients and 20 normal controls (normal control group) were included. The clinical baseline data, MR parameters and left ventricular strain were compared between Fabry disease group and normal control group or HCM group.Results Among the Fabry disease group (6 were female and 4 were male, and the age was 50.6±9.7 years), nine patients had clinical symptoms, including 6 patients with renal dysfunction or peripheral neuralgia. Compared with the normal control group, the left ventricular ejection fraction in the Fabry disease group was not significantly decreased [(63.1±7.8)% vs. (64.4±4.3)%, P=0.641], but the global strain in the three directions and the corresponding systolic and early diastolic strain rates were significantly decreased (all P＜0.001). Compared with the HCM group, the global radial strain (GRS) and global circumferential strain (GCS) of Fabry disease group were significantly decreased (all P＜0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that GRS was independently correlated with Fabry disease (OR=0.84, 95% CI: 0.72-0.97, P=0.017), and the area under the curve (AUC) to distinguish Fabry disease from HCM was 0.813.Conclusions Left ventricular strain can early reflect subclinical myocardial dysfunction in patients with Fabry disease. GRS can effectively distinguish Fabry disease from HCM, which is a new diagnostic index with potential value.
