A heart for Fabry

Prof. Johan Saenen 

UZ Antwerpen 

Prof. J. Saenen explores the relationship between Fabry disease and unexplained arrhythmias. This episode covers major cardiac arrhythmias such as bradycardia, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular tachycardia, as well as conduction and repolarization abnormalities. Learn the crucial role of ECG analysis in identifying Fabry patients and properly guiding them for diagnostic tests.

Prof. Tomas Robyns, cardiologist  
UZ Leuven

Prof. T. Robyns discusses unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and its possible link to Fabry disease. Learn when to consider Fabry in patients with unexplained LVH, how to exclude common causes, and the role of echocardiography and MRI in diagnosis. Discover the specific signs of Fabry on MRI, including T1 mapping and LGE.

A three-part podcast from and for cardiologists.

Fabry disease is a rare inherited disorder, which also manifests itself in cardiological problems. Cardiologists therefore play an important role in detecting the disease in time.

In the three-part podcast ‘A heart for Fabry’ three cardiologists highlight each time a specific topic in Fabry disease.

EPISODE 1: CARDIO GENETICS IN FABRY DISEASE

Prof. Antoine Bondue, cardiologist 
Hôpital Erasme & President of the Scientific Committee of the Belgian Heart League

EPISODE 2: UNEXPLAINED LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY IN FABRY DISEASE

Prof. Tomas Robyns, cardiologist 
UZ Leuven

EPISODE 3: UNEXPLAINED ARRHYTHMIAS IN FABRY DISEASE

Prof. Johan Saenen, cardiologist 
UZ Antwerpen

MAT-BE-2401068-1.0-11/24

Prof. Antoine Bondue, cardiologist
Hôpital Erasme & President of the Scientific Committee of the Belgian Heart League

Explore the pathophysiology of cardiac involvement in Fabry disease with Prof. A. Bondue. This episode addresses the cardiological manifestations, typical symptoms, and the crucial role of a multidisciplinary approach. Learn when to consider Fabry disease and how to properly guide patients for diagnostic tests such as enzyme activity and genetic analysis.
