Your steps on race day help shine a light on a condition that is often misunderstood, frequently misdiagnosed, and too often fatal when not recognized in time. Aortic disease affects the body’s main blood vessel, the aorta, the high-pressure “heartline” that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. When the aortic wall weakens, it can balloon (aneurysm) or tear (dissection), leading to severe internal bleeding and a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate care. Many people living with aortic disease have no symptoms until a crisis occurs, which is why education, early diagnosis, and family screening are so critical. Aortic disease can affect anyone, from young adults to older people, and it does not always come with traditional “risk factor” warnings. Some individuals are at especially high risk, including those with a family history of aortic aneurysm or dissection, people with certain genetic or connective tissue conditions, and those with long-standing high blood pressure. Too many families first hear the words “aortic dissection” only after a sudden loss or near-fatal emergency, underscoring the need for greater public and medical awareness. The hopeful news is that many tragedies can be prevented. When aortic enlargement or disease is found early, through imaging, genetic evaluation, and appropriate specialist care,
