Sleep apnea and the impact on cardiovascular risk in patients with Marfan syndrome

ConclusionsOur study shows a high prevalence of OSA and a high prevalence of overweight in MFS patients. We found some trends between OSA and cardiovascular features but we could not establish a solid association. Our study, however might be underpowered, and a multicenter collaborative study could be very useful to answer some important open questions.
