However, some are lucky enough to have a mild enough case that they can still participate. Activities such as walking. biking, and golfing are encouraged as they can be low key and still entertaining for people affected by Marfan syndrome.

Many patients can take medicine to prevent problems and pain related to Marfan syndrome and live a completely normal life.
