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

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

Common Symptoms

Common symptoms of aortic dissection include:[2][3][4][5]

It worth mentioning that the presence of pain is not necessary for the diagnosis of aortic dissection. Patients may present with syncope, stroke or symptoms suggestive of congestive heart failure (CHF).

Less Common Symptoms

Less common symptoms of aortic dissection include:[1]

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

History and Symptoms associated with High Pretest Probability of Aortic Dissection[1]

History
Symptoms
  • Chest, back, or abdominal pain with at least one of the following features:
    • Abrupt onset
    • Severe intensity
    • Ripping or tearing

Clinical Assessment of Patients Suspicious of Aortic Dissection[1]

Class I
"In patients suspicious of acute aortic syndrome pretest probability of the condition should be assessed based on patients' history, symptoms and physical examination findings.[6](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)[7]

History and Physical Examination for Thoracic Aortic Disease (DO NOT EDIT)[7]

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.[8][9][10] (Level of Evidence: C)"
