Aortic disease may be summed up in two words: "it hurts".
In words from the above, performed by Nazareth: it hurts, it scars, it wounds, it marks...
Aortic disease also lies and deceives - it hides on the inside, it deceives, and then it "burns you when it's hot".
Aortic disease hurts whole families. It hides in various members of a family, some with bicuspid aortic valves, others in that same family with all three leaflets!
It is extremely painful to those who are alive when they begin to realize the potential hidden toll aortic disease may have taken on loved ones over multiple generations.
Especially remembering,
on this last day of September Aortic Disease Awareness 2023,
all the families hurt by thoracic aortic disease.
