What is Marfan Syndrome?

Treatments

There is still no cure for Marfan syndrome. Current treatment options often focus on alleviating the effects of different symptoms. For cardiovascular problems, beta-blockers can help stabilize heart rate and reduce blood pressure. Replacement surgery might be needed when the aorta becomes extended. An orthopedic brace can be prescribed to help you improve breastbone or spine problems. To improve vision, your doctor can suggest surgery, contact lenses, or eyeglasses. In case you develop lung issues, it is essential to stop smoking and seek medical attention. [5]
