How Does Marfan Syndrome Cause Aortic Dissection? - Cardiology Community
How Does Marfan Syndrome Cause Aortic Dissection? In this informative video, we will discuss the relationship between Marfan syndrome and aortic dissection, highlighting the implications of this genetic condition on cardiovascular health. Marfan syndrome is characterized by mutations in the fibrillin-1 gene, which plays a vital role in the formation of connective tissue. This condition can lead to significant changes in the aorta, particularly at the aortic root, making it susceptible to serious complications. We will cover how the weakening of connective tissue results in dilation of the aorta, increasing the risk of aortic dissection. You will learn about the mechanisms behind aortic tears and the potential consequences for individuals affected by Marfan syndrome. The importance of regular monitoring and the role of imaging techniques, such as echocardiograms, in managing this condition will also be discussed. Additionally, we will touch on medical and surgical interventions that may be necessary to prevent life-threatening complications. Understanding the risks associated with Marfan syndrome is essential for effective management and treatment.
