The ECG is a fast diagnostic method and it may - even without additional organ manifestations - provide preliminary suspicion of FD. In particular, as shown in our case, a short PendQ and QT interval indicate FD. Over time, disease progression can be detected through ECG changes. T-waves correlate with an increasing LVH and a reduction in longitudinal function in echocardiographic examinations. Unexplained LVH must be followed by differential diagnosis. In case of confirmed FD, patients should be treated by multidisciplinary teams in experienced centres.
