#MoosieContemplations: . Hello hoomans, Moosie Mooserton here with my uninvited arch nemesis, Princess Leia the Cat, for another #Marfan101 lesson. Today, we will be skooling you all on: . Marfan Syndrome & the Heart ❤️ . Because Marfan Syndrome is a genetic disorder of the connective tissue in the body, this means problems with the #heart and blood vessels is super common and can be very serious especially affecting the #aorta which is the main blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Some issues Marfan folks deal with include but are not limited to: -Aortic enlargement: the aorta may become enlarged -Aortic tear/rupture: bc the aorta can become enlarged this can lead to a tear/rupture -Mitral valve prolapse: flaps in the heart’s valves that regulate blood flow may be “floppy” and not close tightly causing leaking -Aortic regurgitation: bc the aortic valve may not close well blood can leak back into the heart . While some of the issues can cause discomfort and impact quality of life, the most dangerous of all the above is the aortic tear/rupture and one of the main reason why awareness of this rare genetic disorder is so important. Early diagnosis can literally mean the difference between life and death. With early diagnosis there are options! Such as having surgery, taking medications & changing physical activities which all can help avoid life-threatening situations. . With your help we can continue to spread awareness of Marfan Syndrome by sharing these lessons and when you donate to my hooman’s #WalkForVictory campaign ( https://give.marfan.org/team/260832 ) that directly benefits the Marfan Foundation (whose goal is to improve quality of life and save the lives of those impacted by this genetic disorder.) . This concludes today’s Marfan 101 lesson. . Ok people, I’ve gotta run. I’ve got borks to bork, sniffs to sniff and I’ve gotta kick this feline intruder off my chair! . xoxo, the Moosie 😎 & Princess Leia the Cat 🤡
