REVIEW ON NOVEL HEART DISORDER-THE FABRY DISEASE

Fabry disease is an x- linked lysosomal disorder which involves cardiac complications like LV, RV hypertrophy and valvular thickening. This disease also called the "angiokeratoma corporis diffusum universale". As this disease is the multiorgan system disorder it requires collaboration effort among cardiology, nephrology and neurology. The definitive diagnosis of fabry disease is the measurement of alpha galactosidase activity in principal WBC (or) in cultured skin fibroblasts using genetic testing. Generally this disorder is prevented by using the beta blockers and the anti-platelet therapy. A graphical abstract regarding fabry disease was shown in figure 1
