Aortic Dissection Awareness Day--September 19, 2025
- Aortic Dissection Awareness Day is observed annually on September 19. It was created to raise awareness of a relatively rare condition that is difficult to diagnose and can be fatal when diagnosed too late in an emergency situation.
- Aortic dissection is a condition where the innermost layer of the aorta (the main and largest artery in the body) gets injured, which results in blood flowing between the layers of the aortic wall, forcing them apart. If not treated immediately, aortic dissection can quickly lead to death from aortic rupture or myocardial ischemia (insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle).
