Immediate effects of submaximal effort on pulse wave velocity in patients with Marfan syndrome

Immediate effects of submaximal effort on pulse wave velocity in patients with Marfan syndrome

Marfan syndrome (MS) is a dominant autosomal disease caused by mutations in chromosome 15, the locus controlling fibrillin 1 synthesis, and may exhibit skeletal, ocular, cardiovascular, and other manifestations. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is used to measure arterial elasticity and stiffness and is re...
