Summary:A 62-year-old recreational cyclist presented with transient loss of consciousness and common electrocardiographic findings. Despite absence of left ventricular hypertrophy, multidisciplinary evaluation and a positive family history led to the diagnosis of non-classical Fabry disease. This case emphasizes the added value of multidisciplinary analysis of nonspecific findings to diagnose a rare disease. [Display omitted]
