On the other hand, the ped. cardiologist felt they had enough indicators to warrant aortic imaging every other year. And the metabolic geneticist felt they had enough indicators to warrant aortic monitoring every year. I am splitting the difference and doing it every 1.5 years.
They do not now meet the diagnostic criteria but emergent Marfans can happen at any age per the geneticist. So unless my kids develop the requisite constellation of indicators or unless the medical researchers develop a genetic test with a zero false negative rate, my kids have to get the aortic imaging the rest of their life. Could be worse... I'm not complaining.
