- Abstract
Turner syndrome (TS) is the most common chromosomal disorder in women, which is caused by absence or structural abnormality of X chromosome with classical traits that include growth retardation, gonadal dysgenesis and infertility. Acquired cardiovascular disease is a major cause of premature morbidity and mortality in TS. Congenital heart disease and acquired cardiovascular disease can reduce life expectancy by up to 13 years. Ischemic heart disease, stroke and aortic dissection belong to acquired cardiovascular disease with high prevalence. This review is focused on issues of risk factors for acquired cardiovascular disease such as arterial hypertension, glucose metabolism disorders, dyslipidemia and obesity in patients with TS. The main point of this review is arterial hypertension, its prevalence in TS, diagnostic and appropriate therapeutic approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
