In this compelling video, we delve into the heartbreaking yet inspiring story of the Ritter brothers, John and Tom. John Ritter, the beloved American actor and comedian, tragically passed away in 2003 from an undiagnosed aortic dissection.

The video takes a dramatic turn as we recount the day of John's sudden death and the shocking discovery of Tom's own aortic condition. Tom's emotional journey from diagnosis to life-saving surgery and recovery is a testament to the importance of early detection and family health screening.
We also highlight the Ritter family's mission to raise awareness about aortic health through the John Ritter Foundation. Learn about the "Ritter Rules," a set of guidelines developed to help identify and prevent aortic dissections.This video is more than just a tribute to a beloved actor; it's a powerful reminder of the importance of understanding our family health history and being proactive about our well-being.

R.I.P. JOHN left us much too soon. He was the funniest as Jack Tripper on Threes Company. Rev. Fordwick on The Waltons before Threes. Hearts Affire with Markie Post and 8 Simple Rules with Katey Sagal.

A dissected aorta is not a heart attack. It is when a portion of the aorta which is like a multi-layered hose begins separating between these layers. This results in blood collecting in the layers and if untreated result in bleeding out. At the time my late husband had his although it is associated with certain events, why it happens was still largely a mystery.

I took had an aortic dissection 5 years ago. Hershey Medical Center saved me. I wish John lived & God took me instead. He had more talent in his little pinky than I ever had in my life.

My brother had an aortic dissection 7 years ago at age 58. He had moved to a new city a year earlier and hadn’t gotten around to finding a family doctor in order to renew his prescription for high blood pressure medication. Thanks to a quick-thinking roommate, amazing ER staff and air-ambulance team as well as a top-notch surgeon in a larger hospital, miraculously he survived the aortic dissection. Unfortunately, as is often the case, he suffered a post-surgical stroke and has been in long-term care ever since. My message is this: DO NOT IGNORE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. It is known as the silent killer for a reason.
