Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked disorder with α-galactosidase A deficiency. Males (>30 years) and females (>40 years) often present with cardiac manifestations, predominantly left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). The aim of this study was to evaluate electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics within FD patients to identify gender related differences, and to additionally explore the association of ECG parameters with structural and functional alterations on transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 45 FD patients with contemporaneous ECG and TTE was performed and compared to age and gender matched healthy controls. FD patients demonstrated alterations in several ECG parameters particularly in males, including prolonged P-wave duration (91 vs. 81 ms, p = 0.022), prolonged QRS duration (96 vs. 84 ms, p < 0.001), increased R-wave amplitude in lead I (8.1 vs. 5.7 mV, p = 0.047), increased Sokolow–Lyon index (25 vs. 19 mV, p = 0.002) and were more likely to meet LVH criteria (31% vs. 7%, p = 0.006). FD patients with impaired basal longitudinal strain (LS) on TTE were more likely to meet LVH criteria (41% vs. 0%, p = 0.018). Those with more advanced FD (increased LV wall thickness on TTE) were more likely to meet LVH criteria but additionally demonstrated prolonged ventricular depolarization (QRS duration 101 vs. 88 ms, p = 0.044). Therefore, alterations on ECG demonstrating delayed atrial activation, delayed ventricular depolarization and evidence of LVH were more often seen in male FD patients. Impaired basal LS, a TTE marker of early cardiac involvement, correlated with ECG abnormalities. Increased LV wall thickness on TTE, a marker of more advanced FD, was associated with more severe ECG abnormalities.
