Tian Zhengkai's father was bewildered by this unfamiliar term!
"Doctor, what is... Marfan Syndrome?"
Chen Cang explained: "Currently, the patient's sudden aortic dissection has no known cause or inducing factors, and also exhibits typical 'spider fingers,' making me suspect the patient has Marfan Syndrome."
"Marfan Syndrome is a congenital genetic disease primarily characterized by malnutrition in peripheral connective tissues, skeletal abnormalities, internal ocular diseases, and cardiovascular abnormalities. It is a genetic disorder fundamentally caused by a connective tissue defect."
"Simply put, this disease is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, with a very evident probability of inheritance!
Once affected by this disease, chondroitin sulfate A or C and other mucopolysaccharides accumulate in the body, thereby affecting the structure and function of elastin fibers and other connective tissue fibers, leading to maldevelopment and dysfunction in corresponding organs."
