Fabry cardiomyopathy (FC) and light-chain amyloid cardiomyopathy (AL) present with concentric left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy/remodeling and diastolic rather than systolic dysfunction. Direct comparisons are difficult due to rarity and confounded by variability of LV thickness.

Mots clés: Fabry disease; diastolic function; echocardiography; restrictive cardiomyopathy; systolic function
