Are Aortic Biomechanical Properties Early Markers of Dilatation in Patients With Marfan Syndrome? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis by catherine2004reis is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This systematic review and meta-analysis investigates the role of aortic biomechanical properties, specifically stiffness measures, as early indicators of aortic dilatation in patients with Marfan syndrome. The study analyzes data from 30 articles involving 1925 Marfan patients and finds that pulse wave velocity (PWV) and β-stiffness index (SI) are significant predictors of aortic dilatation, with distensibility showing a decrease even in non-dilated aortas. The authors recommend further research to integra
