heart failure, Marfan syndrome.Abstract
A 14 year-old man with Marfan syndrome was sent to echocardiography for assessment because of dyspnea. The study showed severe disease of mitral and aortic valves that needs surgical treatment. In this case we will review the core elements that should be evaluated by echocardiography in patients with hereditary connective tissue diseases.
