Summary
This observational study is measuring arterial stiffness in 250 people with genetic conditions that cause aortic aneurysms. Researchers want to see if stiffness can help predict who is at higher risk. Participants undergo a simple, non-invasive test of blood pressure and artery stiffness. No drugs or treatments are being tested.
