Risk Factors For Developing Aortic Disease (Second Edition)

By Grayson Wheatley, MD

Your aorta is the superhighway connecting your heart to the rest of your body.

 

While the heart is the engine that tirelessly pumps oxygen-rich blood to every part of the body, the aorta is the conduit that enables the blood to reach and nourish every aspect of the body.

 

Sometimes, the aorta can develop a life-threatening problem, such as aortic dissections and aortic aneurysms.

 

Aortic disease is the 19th leading cause of death in the United States.

 

This all-new second edition provides helpful information on what factors contribute to the development of aortic disease.

 

If you or someone you know has an aortic problem, then it is important that you gain an improved understanding of what causes aortic disease - directly from an aortic expert who has treated thousands of patients with aortic disease.
