Acute aortic syndromes (AASs) are deadly cardiovascular emergencies involving the
thoracic aorta. AASs are relatively rare conditions, have unspecific signs and symptoms …

Non-traumatic thoracic aorta emergencies are associated with significant morbidity and
mortality. Diseases of the intimomedial layers (aortic dissection and variants) have been …

Background When acute aortic syndromes (AASs) are suspected, pretest clinical probability
assessment and d‐dimer (DD) testing are diagnostic options allowing standardized care …

Objective Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) is a fatal disease with high mortality. There were
previous studies using aortic dissection detection risk score (ADD-RS) and D-dimer (DD) to …

Background In acute aortic syndrome (AAS) screening, D-dimer is a well-established
biomarker whose usefulness has been scarcely studied with respect to its measurement …

Methods The first version of the guidelines was published in 2018 and has now become
outdated; an update of the guidelines became necessary. This version is not only an …

Point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) is becoming ubiquitous in emergency medicine. POCUS
for abdominal aortic aneurysm is well established in practice. The thoracic aorta can also be …

Acute aortic syndromes (AASs) are severe conditions defined by dissection, hemorrhage,
ulceration or rupture of the thoracic aorta. AASs share etiological and pathophysiological …

Background Acute aortic dissection (AAD) with concurrent ST-segment elevation myocardial
infarction (STEMI) is relatively rare and sometimes overlooked. As D-dimer testing has been …

This study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of the aortic dissection detection risk
score (ADD-RS) plus D-dimer for acute aortic syndrome (AAS) in Chinese patients. Two …
