NPR report on reversing Marfan's with common blood-pressure med

[ponygirlmom]

Here is a link to today's NPR story about children whose Marfan's symptoms have been stopped and reversed by Lorsartan (brand-name Cozaar.)

Unfortunately I don't know if it will do anything for adults!

You can read the story or listen to it.

I found that very interesting; thanks for posting it.

It also mentioned use of ACE inhibitors. I used to take those. Now I'm on something my cardio described to me as something like a next-generation ACE, a med called Micardis. I wonder what they'll learn next about some of these various meds many of us are on?!?
