Symptoms[edit | edit source]
For most diseases, symptoms will vary from person to person. People with the same disease may not have all the symptoms listed. This information comes from a database called the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO). The HPO collects information on symptoms that have been described in medical resources. The HPO is updated regularly. Use the HPO ID to access more in-depth information about a symptom.
Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
It is diagnosed with person’s medical history, symptoms, physical exam, and laboratory test results in order to make a diagnosis.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
- It is important to have an early and adequate treatment for the heart problems because the chance for aortic dissection and other vascular problems may be high in some patients.
- Many specialists may be involved for the best management of the patient.
