Sponsor's own description

Marfan Syndrome (MFS) is a genetic disease affecting the eyes, skeleton, heart and arteries. Despite MFS affecting multiple organ systems, cardiovascular manifestations are the most serious and life threatening. Approximately 80% of adult MFS patients will have a dilated aortic root by age 40 years with aortic aneurysm and dissection the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Thus, MFS patients require lifelong cardiac surveillance. Living with a diagnosis of Marfan Syndrome and aorto-vascular manifestations affects patients' mental health, well-being and quality of life in ways that are not well understood. This study will address the current knowledge gaps in this area and will provide the information needed to design interventions for MFS patients with aorto-vascular problems to help improve the patients' mental health, well-being and quality of life. The study will include adult MFS patients who have been diagnosed with aorto-vascular problems. The overall aim of the study is to explore the psychosocial and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) effects of the diagnosis for aorto-vascular manifestations of MFS in 3 large UK cardiac centres. To achieve this, the researchers will ask the potential participants, after obtaining informed consent, to complete a series of accepted/validated questionnaires to measure the study participants' health-related quality of life (SF-36 and EQ5D questionnaire) and psychosocial factors such as depression (CES-D questionnaire), fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale), stigma (Perceived Stigma Questionnaire), self-esteem (Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale), pain and illness perception (Illness Perception Questionnaire). The researcher will also conduct a one-to-one semi-structured interview with some participants to identify factors important to patients that are not captured in the questionnaires used.
