The diagnosis and management of aortic dissection | BMJ
bmj.com — “Who is at risk?The causes of aortic dissection are multifactorial, and both inherited susceptibility and acquired degenerative disease have been implicated. Several modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors are recognised, the most important of which are discussed below.HypertensionSystemic hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for aortic dissection and is present in 40-75% of patients presenting with the condition.3 Systolic hypertension exacerbates the differential haemodynam” View full resource at bmj.com

Common gene variant associated with aortic dissection: Study reveals risk factor that doubles chance of developing silent killer
sciencedaily.com — “Richard Holbrooke, John Ritter, Lucille Ball, Jonathan Larson and Great Britain's King George II were all taken by the same silent killer: an acute aortic dissection. Now, scientists have found an association with a common genetic variant in the population that predisposes people to acute dissections and can approximately double a person's chances of having the disease.” View full resource at sciencedaily.com
