“…It is well recognized that the heart weights can be used as collaborative evidence of hypertension and other cardiac diseases, such as atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, valvular heart diseases, and cardiomyopathy (13)(14)(15)(16)(17). Bailey, Duflou, and Puranik have found that aortic atherosclerosis and hypertension were the major modifiable risk factors for aortic dissection (18). Our study showed 23 of 31 cases (74.2%) had cardiomegaly, which could be a collaborative evidence of hypertension.…”

“…The diagnosis of aortic dissection remains clinically challenging and the outcomes from this disease are often fatal . Patel and Arora have reported that a range of both benign and potentially lethal conditions are commonly confused with aortic dissections and may not be considered in the initial differential diagnosis in as many as 39% of cases .…”

“…Partial thrombosis of the false lumen in type B aortic dissection cases is considered a strong independent predictor of mortality [33]. This inevitably explains why more Stanford type A dissection fatalities occur suddenly and are subject to forensic investigations, as they are considered to be unexpected deaths [34].…”

“…The number of patients with aortic dissection who will die before hospital arrival is significant (20-45%), and women comprise 40-60% of this population. In comparison, women account for one-third of hospitalized aortic dissection cases (5)(6)(7)(8)(9). In the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD) cohorts, women presented with AAAD at an older age and with more complicated presentations, such as shock and tamponade.…”
