AB  - Always  consider  aortic  dissection  in  patients  presenting  with  the  acute  onset  of  chest  or  thoracic  back  pain.Initiate  a  rapid  reduction  in  heart  rate  and  blood  pressure  in  all  patients  with  a  high  clinical  suspicion  for  aortic  dissection  before  obtaining  confirmatory  diagnostic  imaging.Stanford  type  A  (proximal)  dissections  typically  require  surgical  intervention,  whereas  Stanford  type  B  (distal)  dissections  are  managed  medically.Complications  of  acute  dissection  include  myocardial  infarction,  cardiac  tamponade,  aortic  valve  insufficiency,  stroke,  renal  failure,  paralysis,  limb  ischemia,  and  death.
