Article Synopsis
- Connective tissue disorders like Marfan syndrome (MS) and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) are caused by genetic mutations that weaken connective tissue, increasing the risk of serious complications like aortic dissection.
- This review examines how these disorders relate to aortic dissection, covering clinical symptoms, underlying biological mechanisms, genetic factors, diagnosis, treatment strategies, and possible related health issues.
- The focus is primarily on MS and EDS, but it also includes insights into less common connective tissue disorders and conditions like cutis laxa that may lead to aortic problems.
