Fabry disease (FD) is a rare, X-linked lysosomal storage disorder affecting hemizygous males and heterozygous females. The intracellular storage affects different organ systems, causing severe alteration. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of cTnI using a contemporary sensitive troponin I assay in order to discriminate FD patients with cardiac involvement in a large FD patient cohort.
