May the ladybugs rest in peace. 🪦

(Anyway, in case anyone wasn't aware, Graham died of aortic dissection.)

    Risk Factors

    Several factors can increase the risk of developing an aortic dissection:

    High blood pressure (hypertension)
    Aortic aneurysm
    Connective tissue disorders (e.g., Marfan syndrome)
    Bicuspid aortic valve
    Age (more common in individuals aged 60 and older)
    Male sex
    

    They had to toss that last one in for fun.
