Abstract

Acute aortic dissection is a rare, but potentially life-threatening and time-critical condition that is frequently misdiagnosed. Therefore, its prompt and proper diagnosis is vital to increase a patient's chance of survival and to prevent grievous complications. Raising awareness and educating the general population and healthcare professionals about an aortic dissection is mandatory, for early diagnosis and improving the chances of survival.
