Classical Cardiovascular Manifestations of Marfan Syndrome
Abstract:
Presence of multiple cardiovascular manifestations of the Marfan syndrome in the same patient is not commonly encountered. We present a 49 year-old lady with this syndrome who presented with decompensated heart failure. Evaluation revealed presence of extensive Stanford type A aortic dissection alongwith severe aortic and mitral incompetence. However, the patient declined surgery and was discharged on medical management. At a year's follow-up, she had dyspnea of NYHA class II with persistent cardiovascular findings.
