Carlos Horn was diagnosed with VEDS (Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) last year, in 2023. With a history of multiple aneurysms and a stroke, a doctor sent him to a vascular specialist who wanted to rule out genetic causes. In this episode, Carlos talks about the events that led to his diagnosis, how his lifestyle has changed since, and his hopes for the future of research.
