Do you think it's possible for ehlers danlos syndrome type 3 to weaken tissues like the heart and be more suceptible to dilated cardiomyopathy etc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ehrlurs Danlos: type 3- is more common and that is hypermobility syndrome has less chance of cardiac involvement like that seen in type4 ED where there is problems with the wall of the arteries including aorta and cerebral vesseles cardiac dialatation is less commonly seen I hope this helps
