• Cardiovascular Disease: The general name for a wide range of heart problems which include heart attacks‚ angina‚ heart failure‚ and more. • Mitral Valve Disease: Any disease of the mitral valve which is a valve that regulates the blood flow between the two chambers of the heart. Examples are mitral valve prolapse‚ mitral valve regurgitation‚ etc. • Buerger’s Disease: A type of vasculitis in which the arteries and veins of the hands and feet become inflamed. This disease can

There are two types of aortic valve diseases: regurgitation and stenosis. Aortic regurgitation is a condition in which blood flows backward from a weak or widened aortic valve into the heart’s left ventricle. Aortic Stenosis is a narrowing or blockage of the aortic valve. This happens with the valve leaflets become coated with deposits. Since this is makes the aortic valve smaller‚ the left ventricle has to work harder in order to get the same amount

beals syndrome‚ but general ocular complications are estimated to be present in 20% of patients. The most common cardiovascular complications in Marfan syndrome are dilatation of aortic root and mitral valve prolapse‚ whereas in beals syndrome the cardiac finding includes aortic enlargement and/or mitral valve regurgitation.The overlap in clinical features has a molecular basis. Beal’s Syndrome and Marfan Syndrome result from mutations in two homologous genes‚ FBN2 and FBN1‚ which are highly similar
