Slide 1: Literature Review: Cardiovascular Abnormalities In Fragile X Syndrome. A full description follows.

Summary

The presentation examines cardiovascular abnormalities associated with Fragile X Syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder linked to intellectual impairment. The study aims to investigate the correlation between cardiac dysregulation and Fragile X, focusing on neuroanatomy, the Vagus nerve, and cardiac imaging to identify individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease. Methodology includes a PRISMA flowchart and various modes of study. The findings highlight the need for cardiovascular implications in clinical research, suggesting new treatment options and the importance of a personalised clinical approach.
