Association of sleep apnoea risk and aortic enlargement in Marfan syndrome

BMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2021
Background Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a connective tissue disorder characterised by complex aortic pathology and a high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). OSA produces intrathoracic transmural stresses that may accelerate aortic injury.
