1/23 This is part 2 of the “The Aorta is not just a pipe” #Tweetorial, focusing on abnormal aortic function and its consequences. Make sure to read part 1 before you read this one! 2/23 Let’s see what happens when the aorta is unhealthy. I am not even

1/19 Alright #CardioTwitter, here’s my first series of 2 #Tweetorials, and I’m going to call it: “The Aorta is Not Just a Pipe.” This is Tweetorial #1 focusing on normal aortic function.

The conduit function is only 1 of the aorta’s functions.
