This article provides an in-depth examination of the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and management of Stanford type A AD in a 62-year-old hypertensive female patient with atypical symptoms. \u0000Case Report: The patient presented with retrosternal chest pain and rapidly worsening dyspnea, demonstrating a 3/6 diastolic murmur over the aortic area. Diagnostic findings included negative T-waves on ECG, significant mediastinal widening on chest X-ray, and transthoracic echocardiography revealing an intimal flap, ascending aorta dilation, and acute aortic insufficiency. Computed tomography confirmed a Stanford type A aortic dissection. \u0000Discussion: Acute AD poses a diagnostic challenge, as atypical presentations can lead to misdiagnoses. The case emphasizes the importance of considering AD in the differential diagnosis of chest pain and conducting thorough investigations, especially when faced with unusual symptoms. Management strategies, encompassing both pharmacological and surgical interventions, are crucial for addressing AD promptly. \u0000Conclusion: This case underscores the significance of recognizing both typical and atypical presentations of AD to ensure timely intervention and avoid potentially catastrophic outcomes. A comprehensive understanding of diagnostic approaches and management protocols is essential in the emergency setting. Overall, this article contributes to the growing body of knowledge surrounding acute aortic dissection and emphasizes the critical need for awareness and rapid intervention in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":505403,"journal":{"name":"Cardiology and Angiology: An International Journal","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140435232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
