GARCIA RIOJA, Yovana. Acute Chest Pain: Aortic Dissection. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2010, vol.3, n.3, pp.223-225. ISSN 2386-8201.
Aortic dissection is a tear in the intimal layer of the vessel wall followed by the formation of a false lumen between this layer and the media layer. It is a life-threatening emergency with a high morbidity and mortality rate. The most common initial symptom is acute chest pain. Early diagnosis, in spite of advances in complementary tests, still remains a clinical challenge.
