Defense testimony apparently showed that he would have died regardless of whether they had dx'd the dissection with the x-ray - which was ordered and not done.
The other interesting fact is that 2 years before his death a radiologist advised Ritter to consult with a doctor because he found 3 of his coronary arteries with significant calcification and he did not seek help. That didn't cause his death, but I'm wondering if he had sought help if they would have discovered an enlarged aorta as well.
