Aortic root dilation in adult patients with Marfan syndrome: Does aortic root stiffness matter?Central MessagePerspective
Objective: Aortic root (AoR) size remains an imperfect predictor of rate of aortic dilation in Marfan syndrome (MFS). Indicators of vascular phenotype such as aortic stiffness have been proposed as additional predictors. In this study we assessed the rate of AoR dilation and stiffness in adult patie...
