4. Impact on Blood Vessels

The possible implications of Marfan syndrome on the arteries is another legitimate area for concern. The principal artery in the body, the aorta, connects the heart with the stomach and plays a key role in transmitting vital oxygen. Marfan syndrome may weaken the wall of this artery and even cause it to enlarge. This could rupture the artery with potentially fatal consequences. This prospect is another good reason why anyone with this condition needs to have regular health checkups.
