Understanding Aortic Dissection: Injury to the aorta #heart #aorta #aortic #dissection #facts #bp

✅ A tear in the inner layer of the aorta, the large blood vessel of the heart. This may cause severe chest pain and upper back pain. It is an emergency condition and may mimic other heart diseases.
➡️ Symptoms are similar to other heart problems, such as, heart attack. They may include:
Sudden chest pain radiating to the neck-described as tearing or ripping sensation
Sudden upper back pain radiating down the back
Severe abdominal pain
Breathing difficulties
Loss of consciousness
Difficulty in speaking, loss of vision, sudden weakness
Walking difficulties
Paralysis of the leg
➡️ Causes
The exact cause is unknown. But it occurs in the weakened aortic wall which could be due to:
High blood pressure that puts stress on weakened areas of the aortic wall causing tearing.
Conditions such as Marfan's syndrome, which are associated with a weakened and enlarged aorta can also cause this condition.
Bicuspid aortic valve and other rare conditions associated with weakening of blood vessel walls also increase susceptibility of developing aortic dissection.
Traumatic injury to the chest area due to motor vehicle accidents can also cause aortic dissection.
Risk factors for developing aortic dissection include:
Atherosclerosis - the hardening of the arteries
Aortic coarctation - a narrowing of the aorta by birth
Cocaine use- raises blood pressure
Pregnancy-may increase risk
High-intensity weight lifting- increases blood pressure
➡️ Diagnosis can be difficult since the symptoms are similar to other heart problems. The blood pressure monitoring on both the arms provides a first indication and further imaging tests are done to confirm the condition.
➡️ One or more of these treatment options may be suggested by your provider.
✔️ Requires immediate medical attention. Treatment includes surgery and medications.
➡️ Medication
Beta blockers: Reduce heart rate and blood pressure.
