The finding

Source: Andonian et al. 2021, Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy, PMID 33968637. In 102 adults with Marfan syndrome, 53.8% reported anxiety/depression symptoms, versus 40.8% in other congenital heart disease patients (P=0.022). Sonnet cross-linked the page to the Compass’s existing chronic-illness, chronic-pain, health-anxiety, and death-anxiety clusters — aortic dissection risk is not abstract for Marfan patients.
