There are many ways to be diagnosed for Marfan Syndrome. Here are four ways to be diagnosed...
Echocardiogram: This test checks on your heart, its blood vessels, and the aorta because Marfan Syndrome affects these organs.
Electrocardiogram: This test checks your heart rate and its rhythm. Sometimes the doctor will have to do an echocardiogram too.
Slit Lamp Eye Test: In this test the doctor will make sure your eye lens is not dislocated.
CT Scan: The doctor scans your lower back to see if you have dural ectasia, a back problem that is commonly found in people who have Marfan Syndrome.
