What are the structural cardiovascular alterations detectable by two-dimensional echocardiography in patients with classical and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndromes?
Two-dimensional echocardiography reveals frequent structural cardiovascular alterations, such as a prominent right coronary artery and abnormal pouching of the sinuses of Valsalva, in patients with classical and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndromes.
McDonnell et al. (2005) studied this question.
