I am a second year nursing student and currently in my Ped. rotation. I recently watched an educational video on Marfan syndrome. I learned that this disease is a genetic disorder, and if a patient is suspected of having the syndrome and there is a positive family history of it, the patient's risk of getting the disease is increased. I also learned about management of this syndrome. However, the video did not really specify exactly waht Marfan syndrome is. It was also difficult to understand. Has anybody had experience with caring for patients with Marfan syndrome? Can anybody explain what it is and certain compications associated with it? I would appeciate any inforamtion. Thank You
