Effects of Enzyme Replacement Therapy on Cardiac MRI Findings in Fabry Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Radiol Cardiothorac Imaging 2024; 6:e230154. [PMID: 38842453 PMCID: PMC11211942 DOI: 10.1148/ryct.230154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
Purpose To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effect of enzyme replacement therapy on cardiac MRI parameters in patients with Fabry disease. Materials and Methods A systematic literature search was conducted from January 1, 2000, through January 1, 2024, in PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases. Study outcomes were changes in the following parameters: (a) left ventricular wall mass (LVM), measured in grams; (b) LVM indexed to body mass index, measured in grams per meters squared; (c) maximum left ventricular wall thickness (MLVWT), measured in millimeters; (d) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) extent, measured in percentage of LVM; and (e) native T1 mapping, measured in milliseconds. A random-effects meta-analysis of the pooled mean differences between baseline and follow-up parameters was conducted. The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022336223). Results The final analysis included 11 studies of a total of 445 patients with Fabry disease (mean age ± SD, 41 years ± 11; 277 male, 168 female). Between baseline and follow-up cardiac MRI, the following did not change: T1 mapping (mean difference, 6 msec [95% CI: -2, 15]; two studies, 70 patients, I2 = 88%) and LVM indexed (mean difference, -1 g/m2 [95% CI: -6, 3]; four studies, 290 patients, I2 = 81%). The following measures minimally decreased: LVM (mean difference, -18 g [95% CI: -33, -3]; seven studies, 107 patients, I2 = 96%) and MLVWT (mean difference, -1 mm [95% CI: -2, -0.02]; six studies, 151 patients, I2 = 90%). LGE extent increased (mean difference, 1% [95% CI: 1, 1]; three studies, 114 patients, I2 = 85%). Conclusion In patients with Fabry disease, enzyme replacement therapy was associated with stabilization of LVM, MLVWT, and T1 mapping values, whereas LGE extent mildly increased. Keywords: Fabry Disease, Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT), Cardiac MRI, Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) Supplemental material is available for this article. © RSNA, 2024.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disease-specific therapy aims to improve symptoms, stabilise current disease and delay progression in patients with Fabry disease. In Australia, treatment access is subject to eligibility criteria initially established in 2004. Patients and their clinicians question why these criteria have remained unchanged despite significant progress in disease understanding. AIMS Appraise the clinical quality of the Australian treatment access criteria. METHODS The Fabry Australia Medical Advisory Committee (N = 6) used the Appraisal of Guidelines for REsearch and Evaluation Global Rating Scale (AGREE II GRS) to assess the clinical quality of the current treatment eligibility criteria. They reviewed the literature, developed 17 clinical statements to help guide reforms of the eligibility criteria and achieved consensus (achievement of ≥75% agreement in the range 5-7 on a 7-point Likert scale) through anonymous voting. The findings were applied to develop proposals for revised classification and treatment initiation criteria. RESULTS The current treatment eligibility criteria underperformed on the AGREE II GRS. They are pragmatic but out-of-step with contemporary data. Consensus was achieved on all 17 proposed clinical statements. There was strong agreement to differentiate classical male Fabry patients to facilitate timelier access to Fabry-specific treatment. There was also agreement on the value of adopting relevant organ involvement criteria in classical female patients and patients with non-classical disease. CONCLUSIONS Australian access criteria are misaligned with current clinical evidence. The clinical statements and proposed classification and initiation criteria should prompt discussions to support more equitable access to treatment and better align Australian practice with contemporary evidence and international guidelines.

Disease-specific therapy for the treatment of the cardiovascular manifestations of Fabry disease: a systematic review. Heart 2023; 110:19-26. [PMID: 37640453 PMCID: PMC10803963 DOI: 10.1136/heartjnl-2023-322712] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The cardiovascular manifestations of Fabry disease are common and represent the leading cause of death. Disease-specific therapy, including enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and chaperone therapy (migalastat), is recommended for patients exhibiting cardiovascular involvement, but its efficacy for modulating cardiovascular disease expression and optimal timing of initiation remains to be fully established. We therefore aimed to systematically review and evaluate the effectiveness of disease-specific therapy compared with placebo, and to no intervention, for the cardiovascular manifestations of Fabry disease. METHODS Eight databases were searched from inception using a combination of relevant medical subject headings and keywords. Randomised, non-randomised studies with a comparator group and non-randomised studies without a comparator group were included. Studies were screened for eligibility and assessed for bias by two independent authors. The primary outcome comprised clinical cardiovascular events. Secondary outcomes included myocardial histology and measurements of cardiovascular structure, function and tissue characteristics. RESULTS 72 studies were included, comprising 7 randomised studies of intervention, 16 non-randomised studies of intervention with a comparator group and 49 non-randomised studies of intervention without a comparator group. Randomised studies were not at serious risk of bias, but the others were at serious risk. Studies were highly heterogeneous in their design, outcome measurements and findings, which made assessment of disease-specific therapy effectiveness difficult. CONCLUSION It remains unclear whether disease-specific therapy sufficiently impacts the cardiovascular manifestations of Fabry disease. Further work, ideally in larger cohorts, with more standardised clinical and phenotypic outcomes, the latter measured using contemporary techniques, are required to fully elucidate the cardiovascular impact of disease-specific therapy.

Abstract
Given the inherent complexities of Fabry disease (FD) and evolving landscape of cardiovascular clinical management, there is no established ideal clinical care model for these patients. We identified clinical factors predictive of increased risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with FD targeted to improve clinical outcomes. Ninety-five patients studied over a median follow-up time of 6.3 years, and 26 patients reached the composite endpoint with a high prevalence of heart failure and cerebrovascular events and no cardiac-related mortality. Patients with MACE had worse health-related quality of life scores. Hypertrophy and presence of myocardial fibrosis increase risk of MACE by 4-5 times, and dyslipidemia increases risk of MACE by 3 times. Early Fabry-specific treatment and close monitoring of comorbidities reduce cardiac complications and mortality. These findings highlight the importance of comprehensive multidisciplinary management to help improve outcomes in FD patients.
