Overview

2014 ESC Guidelines on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Aortic Diseases (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Diagnostic Work-up of Patients Suspicious of Acute Aortic Syndrome

Class I
"Initial recommended imaging study for the diagnosis of acute aortic syndrome is transthoracic echocardiography. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"In case of initially negative imaging study, repetitive imaging study (including CT or MRI) is recommended if the suspicion for acute aortic syndrome is high. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"Repeated imaging study (including CT or MRI) is recommended in case of uncomplicated medially treated aortic dissection type B in the first few days of treatment. (Level of Evidence: C)"

Patients with Unstable Hemodynamic

Class I
"In patients with hemodynamic stability, transoesophageal echocardiography or computed tomography are the recommended imaging studies. preferred modality is chosen according to local availability or expertise. (Level of Evidence: C)"

Patients with Stable Hemodynamic[1]

Class I
"In stable patients, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging are the recommended imaging studies. prefered modality is chosen according to local availabilty or expertise. (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class IIa
"In stable patients, transoesophageal echocardiography is the recommended imaging study. (Level of Evidence: C)"
