Abstract

Anderson–Fabry disease (AFD) is a multisystem X-linked disorder of lipid metabolism frequently associated with progressive glycosphingolipid accumulation in cardiac, renal, and nervous cells. The diagnosis of AFD is usually assessed by enzyme assay and genetic tests, but advanced cardiac imaging can be useful in detecting early signs of the disease. Echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance are the first-line imaging modalities to investigate cardiac involvement in AFD, but the recent introduction of new molecular and hybrid imaging techniques opens to a wider range of diagnostic applications. This article aims to provide an overview of nuclear cardiology techniques in diagnosis and clinical management of AFD.

Neu im Fachgebiet Kardiologie

Dank Nasenspray seltener in die Notaufnahme

Durch die intranasale Applikation von Etripamil lassen sich paroxysmale supraventrikuläre Tachykardien (PSVT) oft in Eigenregie beenden. Das erspart den Betroffenen das Aufsuchen von Notfallambulanzen.

Vorhofflimmern: So häufig kommt es bei Katheterablation zu Embolien

Arterielle Embolien – insbesondere Hirnembolien - sind eine mögliche periprozedurale Komplikation bei Katheterablation von Vorhofflimmern. Wie hoch ist das Risiko? Eine Analyse von weltweit mehr als 300.000 Ablationsprozeduren gibt darüber Auskunft.

Extrakorporale Reanimation: Wechsel des EKG-Musters verschlechtert Prognose

Patientinnen und Patienten im Herzstillstand mit schockbarem Rhythmus, deren EKG-Muster sich später ändert, haben schlechtere Chancen. Eine Studiengruppe hat die Bedeutung eines solchen Rhythmuswechsels mit Blick auf die extrakorporale Reanimation genauer untersucht.

Leben retten dank Erste-Hilfe-App

Bei einem Herzstillstand zählt jede Minute bis eine Reanimation begonnen wird. Notfallmediziner Prof. Dr. med. Michael Müller erklärt im Interview, wie medizinisch geschulte Ersthelfende mittels App alarmiert werden können – und warum digitale Lösungen die Notfallversorgung revolutionieren könnten.

EKG Essentials: EKG befunden mit System (Link öffnet in neuem Fenster)

In diesem CME-Kurs können Sie Ihr Wissen zur EKG-Befundung anhand von zwölf Video-Tutorials auffrischen und 10 CME-Punkte sammeln.
Praxisnah, relevant und mit vielen Tipps & Tricks vom Profi.
