Abstract 15760: Left Atrial Dysfunction in Patients With Anderson - Fabrys Disease Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging Derived Left Atrial Phasic Function
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Anderson-Fabrys disease (AFD) is an x-linked lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase. This results in accumulation of globotriaosylceramide in various organs. The hallmark of cardiac involvement is left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). However, autopsy studies have demonstrated involvement of the left atrium (LA) as well. There is currently limited data on left atrial volumes and function in patients with AFD. We sought to assess LA phasic volumes and function in patients with AFD using cardiac MRI (CMR) cine data. Method and Results: This was a retrospective study. Consecutive patients with clinically indicated CMR at our center were included. CMR acquired 2 and 4 chamber steady state free precession (SSFP) cine data were used to measure LA volume and phasic function with commercially available off-line software (eSieVVI, Siemens Medical System). We included 37 patients with AFD (18 males, mean age 48±13 yrs) and 22 age balanced healthy volunteers (8 males, mean age of 40±14 yrs). LA maximal and conduit volumes were not different between AFD and controls, but the LA minimal was larger (Table). Volume derived reservoir, conduit, and pump function were significantly reduced in AFD (Table). Strain measured reservoir and pump function were also significantly reduced in AFD. An inverse correlation was seen between LA reservoir strain and left ventricular (LV) mass (r=-0.53) and myocardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) measured using the 4 (r=-0.67) and 6 (r=-0.67) standard deviation thresholds. Conclusion: This is the first study to demonstrate abnormal LA function in patients with AFD using both volumetric and strain techniques. Patients with AFD had reduced LA reservoir and pump function with modest correlation with disease severity based on the burden of LV LGE and LV mass. Further studies are needed to assess the relationship between LA function and prognosis including the development of atrial arrhythmia.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
