Hi,
Thanks to my good friend, Dr. Gabriele DiLouzzo, I am proud to share with you a recent newsletter that was produced by him at the Mount Sinai Aortic Center. This study was covering patients over a 7 year period there. It’s definitely worth reading. You can find it here.
Don’t forget you can also attend the Aortic Dissection Symposium coming up very soon in New York.
Best Regards,
Brian Tinsley

Hi,
It’s fixed now, thanks for pointing this out.
Brian
My nephew passed away from an aortic dissection. He was an athlete who was 44 years old. Based on the Surgeon, when they tried to save him during surgery his aorta showed clear signs of an individaul with hypertension. Is there any foundation or movement to spread the awareness of hypertension and its hidden dangers?
It is sad to have gone thru this but I guess the least we can do is riase awareness. please advise
Thanks
