Today, there’s was a publication released by Salah A. Mohamed, from the Department of Cardiac Surgery at the University of Schleswig-Holstein released about the Genetic correlation linked to the Acute Aortic Dissection disease. This is some really positive news and even if it prevents just one death , it’s worth the research. However, after reading this article, the benefits could be enormous! A simple blood test that could save your life!
I wrote Salah A. Mohamed an email today asking him for further information on what the name of the blood test will be called? Or how to actually go about ordering it. I will keep you posted just as soon as I hear something.

Hi my name is Heather Sandman and I’m glad I ran across this site in the hopes of preventing or knowing the symptoms of an aortic dissection.I’m 33 and just gave birth to two babies in a year and a halfs time with an ascending thoracic aneurysm which is 4.5 cm with mild to moderate aortic valve leakage with bicupsid valve.I had heart surgery at 18 to repair the aortic valve and now needing surgery again.The surgeon wants it in three to six months and I asked to have it manages for a yearbut am terrified of havin a dissection.Thanks for this site!
