Overview

Diagnostic Study of Choice

Clinical Criteria

2014 ESC Guidelines on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Aortic Diseases (DO NOT EDIT)

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)

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. preferred modality is chosen according to local availability 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)"
