Collection description
Aim: We investigated the value of serial cardiac 18F-FDG PET-MRI in Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) and the potential relationship of imaging results with FASTEX score. Methods and Results: Thirteen AFD patients underwent cardiac 18F-FDG PET-MRI at baseline and follow-up. Coefficient of variation (COV) of FDG uptake and FASTEX score were assessed. At baseline 9 patients were enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) naïve and 4 patients were under treatment. Two patients presented a FASTEX score of 0 indicating stable disease and did not show any imaging abnormality at baseline and follow-up PET-MRI. Eleven patients had a FASTEX score >20% indicating disease worsening. Four of these patients without late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and with normal COV at baseline and follow-up had a FASTEX score of 35%. Three patients without LGE and with abnormal COV at baseline and follow-up had a FASTEX score ranging from 30% to 70%. Three patients with LGE and abnormal COV at baseline and follow-up had a FASTEX score between 35% and 75%. Finally, one patient with LGE and normal COV had a FASTEX score of 100%. Of the 12 patients on ERT at follow-up, FASTEX score was significantly higher in those 4 showing irreversible cardiac injury at baseline compared to 8 with negative LGE (66 ± 24 vs. 32 ± 21, P = 0.03). Conclusion: 18F-FDG PET-MRI may be effective to monitor cardiac involvement in AFD.
