Marfan Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Marfan syndrome is an inherited disorder of the connective tissue that affects the way structures such as the heart, blood vessels, bones, and eyes develop. It usually appears from childhood or adolescence and tends to occur in several people within the same family.
Associated features: disproportionately long arms, fingers, and stature, very flexible joints, spine problems and, frequently, visual or cardiovascular disturbances.
When is an evaluation advisable? When there is a family history or striking physical signs, medical follow-up helps monitor the heart and the aorta over time.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist and, in children, the pediatric cardiologist guide the monitoring of the heart, while the internist coordinates general follow-up. The most sensible course is to discuss your questions with one of these professionals to understand your particular case.
