Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* All patients over 18 years undergoing a routine echocardiography in the participating hospitals
* Both genders will be considered.
* Patients can be included if on 2D echocardiography the maximal septal wall thickness \> 13 mm and/or the posterior wall thickness \> 13 mm. The limit for inclusion is kept relatively low to detect early forms of Fabry cardiomyopathy.
