Abstract

Cardiovascular complications are the most frequent cause of death in patients with the Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. However, due to its rarity, studying the course of cardiac abnormalities has been a challenge. The cardiovascular phenotype helps to provide greater insight into the natural history of these abnormalities.
