Screening of Fabry Disease in Portuguese Patients With Idiopathic Cardiomyopathies

Recruiting
Conditions
Fabry Disease
Registration Number
NCT05409846
Lead Sponsor
Universidade do Porto
Brief Summary

In Portugal, the prevalence of Fabry disease is largely unknown as recently has been stressed by the Portuguese hypertrophic cardiomyopathy registry investigators.

On the other hand, few data on Fabry screening protocols in patients with compromised ejection fraction including burned-out hypertrophic cardiomyopathy series have been published.

This project intends to perform screening of Fabry disease in patients with distinct cardiomyopathy phenotypes of unknown or dubious etiology and explore the less knew impact of the disease in other cardiac phenotypes.
