L’anamnesi familiare è una raccolta di informazioni sanitarie su di te e sui tuoi parenti stretti. Contiene informazioni su disturbi, malattie e problemi di salute che tu e i tuoi figli potreste essere a rischio per ora o in futuro. Più importante, può anche aiutare i tuoi medici a valutare se hai o meno la sindrome di Marfan o un disturbo correlato. Abbiamo creato un pacchetto di storia sanitaria familiare per aiutarti a compilare queste informazioni. Ti invitiamo a compilarlo e portarlo con te dal tuo medico se tu o un altro membro della famiglia state valutando per la sindrome di Marfan o un disturbo correlato. Condividere queste informazioni con i tuoi medici, anche al tuo primo appuntamento, può aiutare ad accelerare la diagnosi.
