There is no particular laboratory findings for the diagnosis of aortic dissection. Possible laboratory findings associated with aortic dissection may include troponin elevation, CK-MB elevation, hematuria, and etc. There has been reports of using a [[smooth muscle]] [[myosin]] heavy chain [[immunoassay]] to help [[diagnosis|diagnose]] [[aortic]] dissection.

Overview

There is no particular laboratory findings for the diagnosis of aortic dissection. Possible laboratory findings associated with aortic dissection may include troponin elevation, CK-MB elevation, hematuria, and etc. There has been reports of using a smooth muscle myosin heavy chain immunoassay to help diagnose aortic dissection.

Laboratory Findings

There is no particular laboratory findings for the diagnosis of aortic dissection. Possible laboratory findings associated with aortic dissection may include:

D-dimer

  • Aortic dissection is more likely in the case of elevated D-dimer levels. It worth mentioning that compared to other causes of D-dimer elevation, aortic dissection leads to immediate rather than gradual increase in D-dimer level. D-dimer elevation has highest diagnostic value in the first hour of symptom presentation.[1]

Cardiac Biomarkers

  • Troponin elevation may be observed in approximately 25% of patients with aortic dissection type A. It may be the result of hemodynamic stress and is not associated with poorer prognosis.[2]
  • The presence of an elevated CK MB may indicate the presence of concurrent acute myocardial infarction.[3]
