Screening for Fabry Disease in Left Ventricular Hypertrophy: Documentation of a Novel Mutation
Background: Fabry disease is a lysosomal storage disease caused by enzyme α-galactosidase A deficiency as a result of mutations in the GLA gene. Cardiac involvement is characterized by progressive left ventricular hypertrophy.

Prognostic Value of Cardiac Troponin I and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Mortality of Chronic Hemodialysis Patients [PDF]
Cardiovascular events are the most common cause of death in hemodialysis patients. Cardiac biomarkers and especially Cardiac troponin I has been used as a prognostic marker in hemodialysis patients and there is some controversies about its value.

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), an increase in the muscle mass of the left ventricle, has been identified as a powerful risk factor for future cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The risk of acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, sudden death, and other cardiovascular events increases six- to eightfold with the presence of LVH ...
