Morbus Anderson-Fabry

  • Strain reduction in ≥1 Segment also without myocardial wall thickening

  • Inferolateral (basal, medial) and anterolateral strain reduction

  • GLS reduction ➜ progress

  • Improvement of LASr ➜ successful therapy (GLS does not change)

  • DD & restrictive filling

EF 30-35%, severely reduced GLS, regional differences 
(Reduction in LV wall thickening due to an antero- & inferolateral scar)

(Reduction in LV wall thickening due to an antero- & inferolateral scar)

Mitochondrial disease

Reduced LV, LA, RA and RV strain

Reduced LV, LA, RA and RV strain

Athlete's heart

  • Normal Dispersion –30 msec

  • Low-normal EF – here 50%

  • Borderline dimensions of the cardiac chambers in endurance exercise

    -Endurance athletes (at least >4h/week)

    -Not one single chamber affected

    -All chambers show similar degree of dimension change
