Abstract
Using hybridised 18FDG-PET-CMR, we identify active myocardial inflammation, and demonstrate its relationship with late gadolinium enhancement, in Fabry disease. We demonstrate that LGE represents, at least in part, active myocardial inflammation, and identify an early inflammatory phenotype which may represent a therapeutic window before irreversible tissue injury and adaptation occurs.
