Experts Discuss Aortic Dissections | Cedars-Sinai

Vascular and cardiac surgeons in the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai know all too well the danger that looms when a patient experiences a tear in their heart’s main artery, called an aortic dissection. The condition, however, is often mistaken by patients—and even some physicians and nurses—for a heart attack, which can delay diagnosis and subsequent lifesaving surgery. Cedars-Sinai experts are looking to change that during Aortic Dissection Awareness Week, beginning Sept. 16. Their mission: teaching the public to know the telltale signs, risk factors and available treatment options for aortic dissections.
