This study aimed to explore the value of cardiac biomarker [serum high sensitive troponin T (hs-TNT) and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)] measurement in the differential diagnosis of infiltrative cardiomyopathy patients [Friedreich's ataxia (FA), Fabry disease (FD) and light-chain (AL) cardiac amyloidosis (CA)] with preserved left ventricular (LV) systolic function.
