Suicidal Behaviors in Women With the Hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome

Archives of Suicide Research, 2021
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) is the most frequent heritable disorder of the connective tissue. This is characterized by a generalized fragility of tissues leading to chronic pain, disability and high levels of psychological distress. Suicidal behaviors in those affected are not uncommon but they have not been well studied.

Echocardiographic findings in classical and hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndromes

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2005
AbstractStructural cardiovascular alterations in the classical and hypermobile forms of Ehlers–Danlos syndrome(EDS) warrant investigation. We have examined a cohort of 38 patients with hypermobile and classical EDSs using two‐dimensional echocardiography. The cohort includes 7 males and 31 females, with an age range from 12–60 years.

Abdominal Compression Syndromes in the Hypermobile Ehlers‐Danlos Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A
ABSTRACT The median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is the main cause of abdominal compression syndromes (ACS). Diagnosis is frequently missed for many years despite the unremitting epigastric and left upper abdominal quadrant pain, postprandial pain, postural relief, sitophobia, and weight loss.

Predictors of pain and mobility disability in the hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

Disability and Rehabilitation, 2019
Aim: Among the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, the hypermobile subtype (hEDS) is the most common. The variety, accumulation and duration of the painful symptoms make hEDS a chronic and highly disabling condition. Identifying drivers of pain and mobility disability in hEDS is necessary to provide adapted prevention and intervention programs.Methods: A cross ...

Cardiac involvement in classical or hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome is uncommon

Genetics in Medicine, 2020
Cardiac-valvular and vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) have significant cardiovascular issues. The prevalence and significance of such abnormalities in classical (cEDS) or hypermobile EDS (hEDS) remain unclear. We report the prevalence of cardiac abnormalities in patients with cEDS and hEDS.We identified 532 pediatric patients with potential EDS ...
