An aortic dissection is defined as a tear (dissection) in the wall of the aorta. The aorta pumps blood from your heart to the rest of your body. It is the main and most important artery of the body. Whenever a tear happens, it causes blood to get in between the aorta’s layers. The amount of oxygen sent to the other body parts is reduced. Any damage can be life-threatening, if the tear is on the ascending aorta. This part of the aorta supplies the blood to your head.
Even though it's difficult to distinguish between heart attack and aortic tear’s symptoms accurately, a few noticeable symptoms are mentioned below. It is recommended to go to the cardiac specialist as soon as possible.
A test called an electrocardiogram (ECG) scans the electrical activity of the patient's heart. Sometimes an aortic dissection can be mistaken for a heart attack on this test, and sometimes both conditions may coexist. X-ray, CT Scan, MRI and transesophageal echocardiogram are the main tests which are used to diagnose aortic dissection.
The solution to aortic dissection repair is open heart surgery.
