In Belgium, there is no officially recognised Marfan expertise center. There are 4 places where Marfan Syndrome is well known and a diagnosis can be established, clinically and with the help of specialists and geneticists.

Brussels UCL- St Luc
multidisciplinary expertise center for diagnosis and follow-up for children and adults.
Prof. Th. Sluysmans (paediatric cardiology), Prof Revencu ( genetics), Dr. S. Pierard (adult cardiology). UCL- St Luc. This has been set up about 10 years ago thanks to the patient association. All patients can be examined in one morning by a cardiologist, orthopaedic surgeon, ophthalmologist, geneticist and sometimes other specialists who then get together to discuss and set the path for follow-up.
Ghent University of Ghent (UZGhent).
The genetic lab that centralises all blood samples from all over Belgium for the genetical diagnosis. Although Ghent is in Flanders, the Wallonian organisation has very strong ties with them.

Slovakia

There are no recognised Marfan Syndrome centres. However, the Slovak Marfan Association has a list of doctors / specialists from regions dealing with patients with Marfan sy.

Sweden

In English / På engelska

In Sweden, there are no medical units that only target patients with Marfan’s syndrome or with suspicion of marfan or other similar conditions.

What we have are six regional Centers for Rare Diagnoses (CSD). They deal with all kinds of rare diagnoses and Marfan’s syndrome is one such.

You can contact CSD in your region to get guidance, referral and information as an individual, health care professional and other community initiatives in issues related to rare diagnoses. CSDs are thus not treatment units with health units that can be reached, but they can refer to the right place in the healthcare system.

Here is a list of all CSD https://csdsamverkan.se/kunskapslankar/2020-03-13-centrum-for-sallsynta-diagnoser

På svenska / In Swedish

I Sverige finns inte några medicinska enheter som enbart vänder sig till patienter med Marfans syndrom eller med misstanke om marfan eller andra liknande tillstånd.

Det vi har är sex stycken regionala Centrum för Sällsynta Diagnoser (CSD). De sysslar med alla typer av sällsynta diagnoser och Marfans syndrom är en sådan.

Man kan kontakta CSD i sin region för att få vägledning, hänvisning och information som enskild person, profession inom hälso- och sjukvården och andra samhällsinsatser i frågor som rör sällsynta diagnoser. CSD är alltså inte behandlande enheter med mottagningar som man kan komma till utan de hänvisar vidare till rätt ställe inom sjukvården.

Här finns en lista med alla landets CSD https://csdsamverkan.se/kunskapslankar/2020-03-13-centrum-for-sallsynta-diagnoser
