About Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust
The Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust is the UK & Ireland charity uniting patients, families and the medical community in a shared goal of improving diagnosis, increasing survival and reducing disability due to aortic dissection. We work by improving education, healthcare policy and research.
Your Impact
Every week in the UK, 70 people suffer an aortic dissection.
Aortic dissection occurs when there is a partial tear in the aortic wall. It is a time-critical medical emergency that, without diagnosis and treatment, is often fatal.
#TeamAorta are running, walking, cycling and swimming to raise funds for aortic dissection research, with the total sponsorship raised going directly to The Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust’s research grant fund. This funding provides support to projects with the overall aim of improving the clinical care of patients, saving lives, and improving the quality of life for those suffering from aortic dissection.
Help us reach our research target and boost the national research agenda for aortic dissection.
