Aortic Dissection

Published:

If left untreated or if patients do not reach the hospital in time, up to 40% of all cases can be fatal almost instantly. And depending how large the ruptured aneurysm is, many patients die before making it on the operating table. John Ritter, Alan Thicke, Lucille Ball, George C. Scott, Conway Twitty, and Albert Einstein all died from a dissecting aortic aneurysm. 

A rupture aneurysm can be prevented by avoiding smoking, monitoring blood pressure and getting a CT scan.

One would think Graham got yearly check-ups considering the benefits packages members of Congress have. Maybe he just didn't trust doctors.

Did you see Trump making his Graham eulogy about himself? Everything he says about himself or strange rants; he really needs to step down before he gets our country into something terrible he can't get us out of.

"At first I heard it was clogged arteries because he did have clogged arteries, he had a problem with that," Trump told reporters. "I wish he took better care of himself. I say, you can solve that problem. But what happened is actually something that's very hard to detect, it was not related to any blockage, it was a very different thing."

Actually, an aortic dissection is very easy to detect with a CT scan; especially according to Trump, Graham knew he had clogged arteries. That procedure is very common for heart related problems.
