What Is Marfan Syndrome?
10. Prognosis
Due largely to cardiovascular complications, it used to be common for people with Marfan syndrome to die prematurely. With treatment methods that make symptoms more manageable, it is more likely for people with MFS to live out a typical lifespan.
For the most part, people with Marfan syndrome can lead normal lives. However, they may need to refrain from contact sports or any strenuous physical activity that can put a strain on the cardiovascular system.
