Are beta-blockers safe for a 9 year old with Marfan Syndrome?
I know they're widely used by adults, but I've heard conflicting
viewpoints recently. I've haven't been able to locate it yet, but
a nurse told me of an article by Dr. Moodie from the Cleveland
Clinic where he doesn't always like use them for children. I'd like
to get a copy of the article and read it for myself and get other
opinions from the medical community about the subject. Thanks!
