Patient information: Age: 52 Gender: Male
The most common cause of aortic dissection The disease is high blood pressure.
Hypertension is the most important risk factor for aortic dissection, and atherosclerosis, hereditary vascular disease, and aortic inflammatory diseases can also cause aortic dissection. Aortic dissection is mainly caused by a hole in the inner lining of the aortic wall, which will cause blood to enter the arterial wall and form a dissection hematoma. If it is not treated in time, it will induce more serious heart disease.
So patients should get a detailed cardiac examination from the hospital as soon as possible, such as CT examination, MRI examination, and echocardiography examination, and then find a professional doctor for symptomatic treatment.
