Abstract
Conclusion - LVH and reduced exercise capacity are the most apparent cardiopulmonary changes in Fabry's disease but they have only a minor association to cardiopulmonary symptoms. Therefore, routine cardiopulmonary evaluation in Fabry's disease using echocardiography is maybe enough when integrated to counselling for aerobic exercise training.
