"Our mission is to save and improve lives while building community. By amplifying the message to “Think Aorta” when symptoms present, we will undoubtedly save more lives together. We are proud to help Think Aorta and Think Aorta US educate more people about the signs, starting with Aortic Dissection Awareness Week 2024 and moving forward." #THINKAORTA #aorticdissection #marfan #loeysdietz #veds

"The global #THINKAORTA campaign welcomes The Marfan Foundation as they announce their alignment with our life-saving campaign in #AorticDissection and commit to amplifying the #THINKAORTA message around the world, for all patients at risk.
Patients with Marfan, Loeys-Dietz or Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome have a 250x greater risk of experiencing a life-threatening #AorticDissection than the general population."

Think Aorta US fully supports both The Marfan Foundation and the life-saving Think Aorta campaign. This outward show of support marks a pivotal step in the #ThinkAortaThinkFamily initiative, which is led by our friends at Aortic Hope, aims to educate the aortic community about the critical importance of family history in understanding and managing aortic diseases.
Collectively, we will amplify the key messages of the Think Aorta campaign, which stresses the urgency of recognizing the symptoms of aortic dissection—a potentially fatal condition if misdiagnosed or left untreated as well as identifying those at risk for aortic disease.
Join us in this crucial mission to advocate, communicate, educate and save lives. Think Aorta, Think Family, Think Community.
