Exercise tests may unlock hidden heart risks in fabry disease
NCT ID NCT06884358
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well people with Anderson-Fabry disease can exercise and how their hearts respond to stress. Researchers will use treadmill tests, echocardiograms, and heart scans to measure heart function during rest and exercise. The goal is to find better ways to detect heart problems early in Fabry disease patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better understand and monitor heart problems in Fabry disease patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it does not test a treatment. It may not lead to direct changes in care.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with a genetic diagnosis of AFD, according to current guidelines; * Informed written consent with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the patient at any time without prejudice to future medical care (for patients age \<18 years old, written consent from a caregiver is mandatory). Exclusion Criteria: * eGFR \<30 ml/min and other contraindications for CMR (relative controindication: patients with implantable device); * Musculoskeletal limitation for exercise test on the cyclo ergometer; * Pregnant or breastfeeding women; * Any serious medical or psychiatric illness that could, in the investigator's opinion, potentially interfere with a full comprehension of the written consent form.
