Abstract

Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked genetic disorder, leading to a deficiency of α-Galactosidase A. This results in accumulation of Globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) within lysosomes in a wide variety of cells. We describe a patient with Fabry disease who presented with ventricular tachycardia and chest pain.
