Descrizione
Lindsey Graham's preliminary cause of death has been revealed, and as a board-certified high blood pressure specialist who has seen aortic dissection throughout my career, this one hits close to home. Aortic dissection happens when there's a tear in the inner wall of the aorta, which is the largest artery in your body, and blood starts pumping directly into that wall instead of through it. When that happens, blood stops reaching where it needs to go. The brain, the kidneys, the organs. All of it. I treat kidney failure regularly, and one of the reasons aortic dissection causes kidney failure is simple anatomy: your renal arteries come right off the aorta. No blood flow, no kidney function. High blood pressure is one of the biggest risk factors, and uncontrolled hypertension quietly damages that arterial lining over years. Chest pain radiating to the back is a major warning sign. If that happens to you, please don't ignore it. Call 911. Not tomorrow. Now.
