Aortic Dissection Awareness Day is observed worldwide every September 19 to highlight the importance of early diagnosis of aortic dissection, a rare and potentially fatal condition. The day was initiated by Timo Söderlund, a Swedish man who survived an aortic dissection in 2012 and later dedicated his efforts to educating others about the condition. On this day, physicians, researchers, patients, and healthcare organizations come together to conduct educational events aimed at informing the public about the symptoms and risks associated with aortic dissection. Common symptoms include severe chest or back pain, lightheadedness, sweating, and vomiting. Individuals with a history of hypertension and smoking are particularly encouraged to seek medical help if they experience disturbing symptoms. The observance serves as a platform for survivors and caregivers to share their stories, fostering dialogue and potentially saving lives.
