[Abstract] Objective: One typical case with Fabry's disease was reported and a series of clinincal and imaging characteristics were reviewed to identify different types of cardiomyopathy.Materials and Methods: A 49-year-old male patient presented chest pain. ECG, echocardiography, selective coronary artery angiography and MR1 were performed.Results: ECG showed left ventricular hypertrophy, first degree of atrioventricular block and ST-T change. Echocardiography showed left ventricular hypertrophy, left ventricular outflow obstruction and SAM sign (+). Selective coronary artery angiography demonstrated no coronary artery stenosis. MRI showed diffuse myocardial hypertrophy associated with delayed enhancement involving septal, anterial and inferolateral wall of basal segment of left ventricle.Conclusions: Patients with Fabry’s disease may have varied clinical manifestations. Clincal history, multisystemic involvement and delayed enhancement MRI may be helpful to the diagnosis.
