Can a 16-year-old with severe untreated marfan's die from exercising too much?

Maybe: A severe, untreated Marfan syndrome patient doing continuous, vigorous exercise can put a lot of stress on his heart, heart valves, aorta, etc... The increased pumping demands could lead to failure of a valve, heart failure, rupture of his aorta, etc...

Marfans: There have been a number of deaths associated with Marfan's over the years. Seek out cardiologist for opinion.
