Genetic Aortic Diseases and Cardiovascular Complications. An Observational Survey of Risk Factors.
Sponsor: IRCCS Policlinico S. Donato
Summary
The aim of this observational study is to define the behavioural and cardiovascular risk factor profiles of patients with genetic aortopathies. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How do the interconnections between lifestyle, stress, psychological condition, perception of illness, and state of health influence each other in this population? * Beyond traditional risk factors, additional emerging factors should be considered, including pregnancy-related complications, sedentary lifestyle, early menopause and depression. The interplay between eating disorders, lifestyle factors and autoimmune or inflammatory bowel diseases remains poorly understood.
