BACKGROUND To study segmental structural and functional aortic properties in Turner syndrome (TS) patients. Aortic abnormalities contribute to increased morbidity and mortality of women with Turner syndrome. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) allows segmental study of aortic elastic properties. METHOD We performed Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) and distensibility measurements using CMR of the...

OBJECTIVES QT-interval prolongation of unknown aetiology is common in Turner syndrome. This study set out to explore the presence of known long QT mutations in Turner syndrome and to examine the corrected QT-interval (QTc) over time and relate the findings to the Turner syndrome phenotype. METHODS Adult women with Turner syndrome (n = 88) were examined thrice and 68 age-matched healthy contro...
