Join us for an Important Observational Study
Aortic Athletes, along with colleagues Dr. Timothy Churchill of Massachusetts General Hospital and Dr. Siddharth Prakash of University of Texas Health Science Center, with Jack Crowe and Brad Way, are partnering with leading aortic researchers to better understand how endurance activities affect individuals after an aortic dissection.
We Aim to Collect:
- Clinical and Imaging information
- Details about type and intensity of endurance and/or competitive exercise
Our Goal:
Increase our understanding of aortic outcomes and inform guidelines and safety recommendations for athletes with a history of aortic dissection.
