She had no previous medical history to include no history of hypertension or vascular disease. She was admitted to the hospital and her workup revealed an ascending aortic dissection. Here, we present an atypical presentation of a patient with an aortic dissection diagnosed on transthoracic echocardiogram. (Reprint & Copyright © 2013 Association of Military Surgeons of the U.S.) |
