September is Aortic Disease Awareness Month!

Aortic diseases are often called silent killers because they can progress unnoticed until a life-threatening event occurs. Raising awareness is essential for earlier diagnosis, timely screening, and better patient outcomes.

It's a topic that is close to our hearts ❤️:
At the CONNEX and Cardiogenomics group, driven researchers work hard to unravel the mechanisms underlying syndromic aortopathies. Research comes with both successes and setbacks, but every step matters and brings us closer to better solutions for patients.

🤝 Together, clinicians, patients, families, advocates and researchers can make a difference.
