Overview

Supports hypertension screening in older adults and genetic evaluation in younger patients; leaves open prospective validation of targeted prevention.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with aortic dissection, including data from the International Registry of Aortic Dissection (IRAD).

Hypertension is the most common predisposing factor for aortic dissection overall, whereas younger patients are more likely to have genetic or structural predispositions such as Marfan syndrome or bicuspid aortic valve.
