A patient with typical Marfan's syndrome was monitored by echocardiography, which detected (in 1978) a prolapse of the mitral valve complicated by severe cardiac insufficiency, necessitating valve replacement. Seven years later an aneurysm of the ascending aorta (60 mm) was detected which caused prolapse of the aortic valve with valvular insufficiency, combined with prolapse of the tricuspid valve and a calcified foramen ovale the permeability of which was verified by peripheral injection of contrast medium. Echocardiography, notably two-dimensional, is an excellent examination for regular and atraumatic monitoring of Marfan's syndrome and detection of cardiovascular complications.
一名患有典型马凡氏综合征的患者接受了超声心动图监测，该检查于1978年检测到二尖瓣脱垂并伴有严重的心功能不全，需要进行瓣膜置换。七年后，检测到升主动脉瘤（60毫米），导致主动脉瓣脱垂并伴有瓣膜功能不全，同时合并三尖瓣脱垂和卵圆孔钙化，通过外周注射造影剂证实了其通透性。超声心动图，尤其是二维超声心动图，是对马凡氏综合征进行定期且无创监测以及检测心血管并发症的极佳检查方法。
