    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Critical Care Medicine
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Marfan syndrome is a rare genetic disorder affecting connective tissue.
    • Cardiovascular complications are the most severe manifestations of Marfan syndrome.
    • Patients with Marfan syndrome may require intensive care due to acute cardiovascular events.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify the critical care manifestations of Marfan syndrome.
    • To enhance the understanding of Marfan syndrome in the intensive care setting.
    • To provide essential information for critical care nurses.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of Marfan syndrome cases in critical care.
    • Analysis of clinical presentations and cardiovascular issues.
    • Synthesis of current knowledge on pathophysiology and management.

    Main Results:

    • Serious cardiovascular problems are the primary reason for Marfan syndrome patients requiring intensive care.
    • Key manifestations include aortic dissection, mitral valve prolapse, and heart failure.
    • Understanding the pathophysiology is key to recognizing clinical signs.

    Conclusions:

    • Critical care nurses must be aware of Marfan syndrome's potential cardiovascular impact.
    • Early recognition of clinical signs aids in timely intervention and improved patient outcomes.
    • Education on Marfan syndrome is vital for effective patient care in intensive settings.
