Cardioembolic stroke in the cardiac variant of Fabry disease

Abstract

AbstractWe describe herein the case of a 71‐year‐old man with the cardiac variant of Fabry disease presenting with cardioembolic stroke. Stroke is one of the most well‐known manifestations of Fabry disease, and lacunar stroke is a widely recognized etiology. However, little is known about stroke in patients with the cardiac variant of Fabry disease. The cardiac variant of Fabry disease should be considered as a potential cardiac source of embolic stroke.
