Episode 260: Aortic dissection
Mr Giovanni Mariscalco joins us again to discuss a serious but often under-recognised emergency: aortic dissection. This condition can mimic more benign causes of chest or back pain, but when it strikes, every minute counts. A missed diagnosis can lead to a fatal outcome. In this episode, we break down the classic and subtle presentations, the key investigations (and where clinicians often go wrong), and what to do when you suspect it.
