Abstract:
Objective To analyze the characteristics of cardiovascular two-dimensional (2-D) and Color Doppler echocardiography for patients with Marfan's syndrome. Method 23 cases of Marfan's syndrome were examined by transthoracic 2-D and Color Doppler echocardiography.Results Aneurysms of the ascending aorta and aortic sinusal were found in all of these cases. Aortic regurgitation and left ventricular enlargement coexisted with all of these cases. Fourteen cases complicated with type A and three with type B aortic dissection. Conclusions 2-D and Color Doppler echocardiography is a rapid non-invasive,reproducible, comprehensive medical imaging technique and can be regarded as an initial imaging model to screen and diagnosis of Marfan's syndrome.
