Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes problems in the body’s connective tissue. This disease can affect many different parts of the body and can cause aortic enlargement (aneurysm), a serious condition that requires regular monitoring.
With early diagnosis—along with expert treatment and management—patients with Marfan syndrome are living longer and more fully than ever before.
The Maurice R. and Corinne P. Greenberg Division of Cardiologyis a major center for patients and families with Marfan syndrome and related disorders. Because we have treated so many patients of different ages, we have learned how best to treat and manage the condition to achieve the highest possible quality of life.
Families, especially those with a non-Marfan familial aortic aneurysm, may undergo additional testing to characterize underlying genetic abnormalities.
Our faculty includes internationally recognized experts in the field, including Drs. Richard B. Devereux and Mary J. Roman, who have evaluated and treated hundreds of patients with Marfan syndrome, familial aortic aneurysm, mitral valve prolapse, and related conditions.
Our team of experts diagnose and manage aortic aneurysms. Our cardiologists collaborate with highly skilled cardiothoracic surgeons and other specialists to offer comprehensive care—all at a single institution.
We build upon this history of success by conducting clinical research that has made significant advancements in our understanding of these conditions.
