Aortic Dissection Awareness Pins and Buttons

Description: The objective of the day is to raise awareness about aortic dissection, a relatively unknown but life-threatening disorder. Several organizations across the globe offer patients, their families, medical professionals, and the general public a range of resources to help them understand the condition better. Aortic dissection is a condition in which the inner layer of the body’s main artery (aorta) tears. ving through the aorta rushes out through the tear, which causes the inner and middle layers of the artery to split. If the individual’s blood seeps through the outermost layer of the aorta, the dissection is usually deadly.
