History of patients with aortic dissection may be positive for factors such as connective tissue disease, known [[aortic valve]] disease, recent [[heart surgery]], Known [[thoracic aortic aneurysm]], and family history of the [[aortic]] disease. Sudden onset chest/back pain is the most common symptom of aortic dissection. Pain may be of sharp, ripping, tearing, and knife-like quality.

**Sudden onset of pain is the most common symptom.
 
**The quality of pain is different from other causes of chest pain. it may be sharp, ripping, tearing, and knife-like.
*[[Chest pain]] (especially migrating pain)
**The most common site of pain in order of frequency is chest (80%), back (40%), and abdomen (25%).

**Type A aortic dissection more commonly presents with chest pain, whereas type B tends to manifest with back/abdominal pain.

Overview

History of patients with aortic dissection may be positive for factors such as connective tissue disease, known aortic valve disease, recent heart surgery, Known thoracic aortic aneurysm, and family history of the aortic disease. Sudden onset chest/back pain is the most common symptom of aortic dissection. Pain may be of sharp, ripping, tearing, and knife-like quality.

History and Symptoms

History

History of patients with aortic dissection may include the following factors:[1]

Shortness of breath Pericardial effusion, congestive heart failure from acute severe aortic regurgitation, or hemothorax
Stroke symptoms Carotid or vertebral artery involved
Superior vena cava syndrome Compression of the superior vena cava
Syncope Carotid artery involvement or cardiac tamponade

AAS indicates acute aortic syndrome

2014 ESC Guidelines on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Aortic Diseases[1]

Clinical Assessment of Patients Suspicious of Aortic Dissection[1]

Class I
"In all patients with suspected AAS, pre-test probability assessment is recommended, according to the patient’s condition, symptoms, and clinical features.[7](Level of Evidence: B)"

2010 ACCF/AHA/AATS/ACR/ASA/SCA/SCAI/SIR/STS/SVM Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Patients with Thoracic Aortic Disease (DO NOT EDIT)[8]

History and Physical Examination for Thoracic Aortic Disease (DO NOT EDIT)[8]

Class I
"1. For patients presenting with a history of acute cardiac and noncardiac symptoms associated with a significant likelihood of thoracic aortic disease, the clinician should perform a focused physical examination, including a careful and complete search for arterial perfusion differentials in both upper and lower extremities, evidence of visceral ischemia, focal neurological deficits, a murmur of aortic regurgitation, bruits, and findings compatible with possible cardiac tamponade.[9][10][11] (Level of Evidence: C)"
