Quick Summary
Loeys-Dietz syndrome is a connective tissue condition with a risk of widespread aneurysms and dissections. Centralizing imaging and clinical details helps the care team move fast and in sync.
What is Loeys-Dietz syndrome
LDS is a heritable connective tissue disorder associated with changes in genes along the TGF beta pathway. It can involve arterial tortuosity, aneurysms, and craniofacial features. See the Loeys-Dietz Foundation, NIH GARD, and GeneReviews.
Why a longitudinal view helps
- Whole-arterial surveillance: track measurements across multiple vascular beds
- Surgical thresholds and timing: keep prior diameters and Z scores to inform decisions
- Comorbidities and allergies: LDS can include allergic and inflammatory conditions that matter for care
- Family genetics and pregnancy plans: organize results and counseling notes for quick reference
How Aether supports LDS care
- Stores cross-sectional imaging and echo reports with a simple measurement history
- Consolidates meds, vitals, clinic letters, and procedure notes
- Secure sharing to vascular surgery, cardiology, genetics, and anesthesia teams
