“A multiauthor and multidisciplinary text on Marfan syndrome describes in 27 chapters the diagnosis, clinical, psycho-social and therapeutic aspects of this less rare than thought disease. To the best of my knowledge, the first book of its kind.” (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews (PER), 2017)

“This book will be useful for all personnel involved in taking care of patients with Marfan syndrome … . This state-of-the-art book offers the most comprehensive collection of seminal knowledge about Marfan syndrome both in the pediatric and adult patient populations. It provides practice guidelines as well as step-by-step instructions on what to expect, what to do, what to avoid, and how to manage, patients with Marfan syndrome.” (Fahad Javed, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2016)

Diagnosis and Management of Marfan Syndrome

herausgegeben von Anne H. Child
This book has been written in response to the many excellent questions posed by our patients and their care teams, questions which deserve the best-informed and up to date answers provided by our experts in each of the many health areas affected by Marfan syndrome.  The aim of this text is to provide a summary of the present day understanding of diagnosis, management and best medical and surgical treatment of infants, children and adults with Marfan syndrome.  The authors cover the lifelong problems from birth to old age, in each affected system.  Forty percent of this information is the result of new careful research based on a well-defined longitudinally studied UK patient population.
