Symptoms of aortic dissection?

summary

The treatment of aortic dissection requires us to carry out according to the corresponding physical characteristics, because everyone's physical characteristics are different, so we must treat symptomatically, otherwise our treatment can only be futile. Symptoms of aortic dissection? Now let me tell you something.

Symptoms of aortic dissection?

The blood pressure of the left upper limb was lower than that of the contralateral side, and the pulse was weakened. The lower extremity blood pressure decreased and the dorsalis pedis artery pulsation weakened, suggesting that the dissection involved the iliac or femoral artery. Decreased peripheral pulse with decreased blood pressure suggests that there may be low cardiac output caused by dissection rupture, acute pericardial tamponade or acute myocardial ischemia.

Cardiac signs: heart rate is fast, most patients in the left edge of the sternum 2,3 intercostal, right edge of the second intercostal can be heard and 2 ~ 3 systolic murmur. The diastolic murmur of intercostal 2 and 3 on the left edge of sternum could be heard, and the second sound of aorta was weakened. Pericardial effusion is indicated when the heart sound is weakened and the boundary of heart voiced sound is enlarged.

A very important sign of aortic dissection is the difference of pulse and blood pressure between limbs. Therefore, early physical examination should pay attention to the examination of pulse and blood pressure of limbs. If the innominate artery is involved, the blood pressure of the right upper limb is lower than that of the contralateral side, and the pulse is weakened.

matters needing attention

These are the things we need to know when we treat aortic dissection. Sometimes, some patients do not understand these to start treatment, not only will lead to our treatment no effect, but will aggravate the disease. I hope all of these will help you.
