## Caption

An aortic dissection is a life-threatening emergency where a tear develops in the inner layer of the body’s largest artery (the aorta), allowing blood to split the layers of the vessel wall.

The #1 risk factor? Uncontrolled high blood pressure.

Know the warning signs:
⚠️ Sudden, severe chest, back, or abdominal pain
⚠️ Pain that feels tearing or ripping
⚠️ Fainting, weakness, or trouble speaking

Controlling your blood pressure isn’t just about preventing heart attacks and strokes… it can save your life.
