Popis: Aortic dissections occur as a result of a tear in the intimal layer, continued longitudinal splitting within the intima and media, and formation of false lumen. This could lead to sudden death or severe aortic regurgitation and cardiogenic shock. The presented case here describes a patient with acute anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction due to acute Stanford type A ascending aortic dissection.
