Official title
Role of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Angiography (1.5-T) in the Diagnosis of Cardiac and Thoraco-abdominal Vascular Tree Anomalies in Adult Patients with Turner Syndrome
Overview
Considering the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease in Turner syndrome patients, noninvasive cardiac imaging is crucial for diagnosis and follow-up. From the review of the literature, it was evident that the imaging techniques used involved the evaluation of only the thoracic findings, in particular the heart and the thoracic aorta, while no data are currently available on the distal abdominal aorta or iliac arteries, since ultrasound and MRI are interrupted at the diaphragmatic level.
Interventions
- Diagnostic test imaging
cardiac angioMR
Primary outcome measures
- Vascular and cardiac anomalies [Time frame: 5 years]
