Association of Mitral Annular Disjunction With Cardiovascular Outcomes Among Patients With Marfan Syndrome

Abstract

This study suggests that MAD among patients with MFS is associated with the occurrence of arrhythmic events, a higher need for mitral valve intervention, and, among patients with extensive MAD, more aortic events. Cardiac imaging for patients with MFS should consider the assessment of MAD as a potential marker for adverse outcomes.
