Type A #AorticDissection in under-30s. It's not just a disease of the over 65's. Wonder how many young cases we miss before they ever get to surgery? @THINK__AORTA

How to assess your athlete with aortic disease. Don’t forget genetics. Can athletes exercise - Yes but follow the guidance of your sports cardiologist, avoid power sports @EAPCPresident @PeroneFrancesco @SilCastelletti @El_Cavarretta @vass_vassiliou #escprev2023

As many people know, I suffered an Aortic Dissection in May 2019. It was the most frightening and life-threatening event of my life so far. Incredibly I’ve made a full recovery and am proud to be an @AorticDissectCT ambassador. Our aim is to save lives. Please watch this film…
More needs to be done to save the lives lost to #aorticdissection in #emergencymedicine. Please watch and share this 3 minute masterclass created by experts, and together we can make a difference. #AortaEd bit.ly/Could-it-be-AD

This is my beautiful son Jordan, July 1st 2021 he lost his life due to a TYPE A AORTIC DISSECTION. This picture was his 14th birthday and 11 days after he was fighting for his life. There isn’t enough awareness of AD in children and as his mother I will do everything in my power

I don't know what the answer to this is, but the fact that this patient's mum had to push for learning shows there is still so much work to be done. Today's @psmn999 meeting was really inspiring though, and shows that change is coming

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any time - and currently, less than 1 in 10 people in the UK survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. You can change that. Scan it. Learn it. Save a life. resus.org.uk/CPR #CPQR
