Risk Stratification of Patients Suspicious for Aortic Dissection

High Risk Conditions Score
1
High Risk Pain Characteristics Score
  • Chest, back, or abdominal pain with at least one of the following features:
    • Abrupt onset
    • Severe intensity
    • Ripping or tearing
1
High Risk Physical Findings Score
  • Evidence of insufficient blood supply:
    • Absent pulse
    • Systolic blood pressure difference
    • Focal neurological deficit (along with pain)
1
  • Aortic diastolic murmur (new and with pain)

Diagnostic Work-up of Patients Suspicious of Acute Aortic Syndrome (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class I
"Initial recommended imaging study for the diagnosis of acute aortic syndrome is transthoracic echocardiography.(Level of Evidence: C)"
"In case of initially negative imaging study, repetitive imaging study (including CT or MRI) is recommended if the suspicion for acute aortic syndrome is high.(Level of Evidence: C)"
"Repeated imaging study (including CT or MRI) is recommended in case of uncomplicated medially treated aortic dissection type B in the first few days of treatment. (Level of Evidence: C)"

Patients with Unstable Hemodynamic

Class I
"In patients with hemodynamic stability, transoesophageal echocardiography or computed tomography are the recommended imaging studies. prefered modality is chosen according to local availabilty or expertise.(Level of Evidence: C)"

Patients with Stable Hemodynamic[1]

Class I
"In stable patients, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging are the recommended imaging studies. prefered modality is chosen according to local availabilty or expertise.(Level of Evidence: C)"
Class IIa
"In stable patients, transoesophageal echocardiography is the recommended imaging study.(Level of Evidence: C)"
