AI Article Synopsis
- This article discusses a case of acute type B aortic dissection that showed ECG changes similar to an acute coronary syndrome.
- High D-dimer levels were present during the acute phase but returned to normal in the chronic phase of the condition.
- The findings align with recent literature suggesting that D-dimer levels could be valuable in diagnosing acute aortic dissections.
Article Abstract
This article reports on a case of acute type B aortic dissection presenting with electrocardiographic abnormalities mimicking an acute coronary syndrome, associated with high D-dimer levels in the acute phase and normalization in the chronic phase of the disease process. This case report is consistent with recent data from the literature suggesting that D-dimer levels might be a useful biochemical tool in the diagnostic work-up of patients with suspected acute aortic dissection.
