Abstract

Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder affecting females, characterized by partial or complete absence of the second X chromosome. This syndrome is associated with a variety of medical conditions, among which endocrine disorders and cardiac issues are prominent. Endocrine abnormalities commonly seen in Turner syndrome include hypothyroidism, growth hormone deficiency, and ovarian insufficiency. These endocrine dysfunctions can impact growth, development, and overall well-being. Early detection and management are crucial to mitigate these effects and improve quality of life. Cardiac issues in Turner syndrome often involve structural abnormalities such as coarctation of the aorta, bicuspid aortic valve, and hypertension. These cardiac anomalies can pose significant health risks if not diagnosed and managed timely. Regular cardiac evaluations, including echocardiograms and blood pressure monitoring, are recommended to identify and address potential complications. Understanding the interplay between endocrine and cardiac conditions in individuals with Turner syndrome is essential for comprehensive care. A multidisciplinary approach involving endocrinologists, cardiologists, and other specialists is often required to provide optimal management and support for these patients. In conclusion, endocrine disorders and cardiac issues are key aspects of Turner syndrome that necessitate thorough evaluation and tailored treatment strategies. Early diagnosis, regular monitoring, and multidisciplinary care are essential for optimizing outcomes and enhancing the quality of life for individuals with this condition.
