Postsystolic thickening is a potential new clinical sign of injured myocardium in marfan syndrome
Abstract The mechanisms leading to cardiac remodeling in Marfan syndrome (MFS) are a matter of debate since it could be either due to structural dysfunction of the myocardial extracellular matrix or to increased afterload caused by the dilated aorta. We aim to characterize the presence of abnormal m...
