Aortic Dissection: When Seconds Matter | Orlando News
Description
When Senator Lindsey Graham’s sudden death reignited attention on aortic dissection, it reminded us this silent killer can strike in minutes — and often goes unrecognized. From John Ritter’s tragic 2003 passing to Alan Thicke’s 2016 death during a hockey game, celebrities lost to this tear in the body’s main artery are now helping raise awareness. The John Ritter Foundation urges people with family histories or risk factors to recognize warning signs like ripping chest pain — because early detection could save lives. With age and high blood pressure as key risks, staying heart-healthy might be the best defense against this deadly emergency.
