4 Putting It All Together: Symptoms, Signs, and Images Arun Raghupathy and Kim Eagle Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U.S.A. Pain attending the splitting of the aortic wall is usually excruciating and extensive, radiating from midthorax front or back through the chest, down the back, and even into the thighs or up into the neck. The pain in the thorax or back comes suddenly at its maximum and is often prostrating, inducing a state of shock or even death. —Paul Dudley White, 1944 INTRODUCTION Acute aortic dissection is a cardiovascular emergency associated with high mortality, and successful outcomes depend on the rapid recognition of the clinical symptoms and signs associated with this condition (1–5). Modern imaging modalities can precisely define a spectrum of aortic pathologies, but they are clinically useful only when patients are accurately identified in a timely fashion so that treatment can be delivered promptly. Therefore, the astute clinician must know how to quickly incorporate key elements from the symptoms, signs, and images in order to confirm the diagnosis and initiate appropriate therapy for this life-threatening disease. Keeping this in mind, this review will discuss our current understanding of the clinical presentation of this complex yet fascinating disease. Compared to other cardiovascular emergencies, such as stroke and acute myocardial infarction, 67
68 Raghupathy and Eagle the incidence of aortic dissection is quite rare, with an estimated range of 5 to 30 cases per million persons per year (1). As such, clinical observations pertaining to acute aortic conditions, although valuable, are often limited by the naturally smaller sample sizes found in single-center case series. In contrast, much of our current and expanding body of knowledge derives from our experience with the International Registry of Aortic Dissection (IRAD). Since its inception in 1996, this ongoing, worldwide multi-institution research collaboration among specialized aortic referral centers has collected important clinical data on over 1350 consecutive patients to gain insight into the clinical presentation, management, and outcomes of acute aortic conditions. This chapter is designed to equip the triaging clinician with the essential information required to develop a practical and efficient diagnostic approach to the patient with an acute aortic condition. Speed in appropriately suspecting and confirming the diagnosis is a recurring theme echoed throughout this discussion, as severe, often catastrophic complications tend to develop quickly. From the time of symptom onset, mortality in untreated (or undiagnosed) acute dissection rises rapidly with each passing hour, approaching 50% in the first 24 hours (6,7). Early mortality is usually the result of a ruptured aorta, manifesting clinically as cardiac tamponade or frank exsanguination. Serious morbidity, including multisystem organ failure, may result from occlusion of the aortic branches, with resultant malperfusion to vital organs such as brain, kidney, spinal cord, and limbs. Therefore, the importance of prompt action and maintaining a high index of suspicion to minimize diagnostic delays cannot be overemphasized. PREDISPOSING FACTORS The initial approach to evaluating the patient suspected of having an acute aortic condition begins with recognizing the constellation of high-risk conditions that are associated with the disease. A summary of such predisposing conditions is listed in Table 1. Hypertension exists in up to 72% of patients and is by far the most common feature. Advanced age is another common characteristic, with a mean age of dissection occurring in the seventh decade of life (1,8). Among younger patients (age 70 years old. Contrary to previous reports from case studies, our experience with IRAD suggests that pregnancy is only rarely associated with acute dissection, unless it co-exists with the Marfan’s syndrome and an aortic root diameter >40 mm (1,10). Prior cardiovascular intervention, including surgical or catheter instrumentation of the aorta, is an important feature found in 4% to 5% of patients with Type A or Type B dissection. An even greater association is seen in patients presenting with Type A dissection, where a history of recent or prior cardiac surgery is present in approximately one of every six patients (11,12).
