Abstract

Vascular compromise seen with pulse deficits is common in patients with type A dissection. However, patient characteristics and in-hospital outcomes associated with pulse deficits have not been evaluated. Accordingly, we studied 513 patients (mean age 62 +/- 14 years, 65% men) with acute type A aortic dissection enrolled in the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection. Pulse deficits, defined as decreased or absent carotid or peripheral pulses as noted by clinicians and later confirmed by diagnostic imaging, at surgery or at autopsy were noted in 154 patients (30%). Age <70 years, male gender, neurologic deficit(s), altered mental status, and hypotension, shock, or tamponade on admission were all significantly higher in patients with than without pulse deficits. The etiology of aortic dissection, clinical symptoms, and imaging findings were similar in the 2 groups. In-hospital complications (hypotension, coma, renal failure, and limb ischemia) and mortality (41% vs 25%, p = 0.0002) were significantly higher in patients with pulse deficit. Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis identified pulse deficit as an independent predictor of 5-day in-hospital mortality (risk ratio 2.73, 95% confidence interval 1.7 to 4.4; ...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
