Key result
Misdiagnosis of acute aortic dissection remains commonplace, requiring early risk scoring, focused echocardiography, and fast-tracking to cross-sectional imaging to improve diagnostic accuracy.
Why the study?
Misdiagnosis of acute aortic dissection remains commonplace and worsens outcomes, while current guidelines are relatively limited in preventing it.
