The aim of this study is to investigate the diagnostic value of circulating biomarkers and in aortic tissue in patients with AD and to assess the prognosis of patients with AD and its complications in relation to the aforementioned markers, integrating biological data with clinical and instrumental data relating to the patient's hospitalisation.~The study involves a comparison between two arms, one experimental and the other control (healthy outpatients). A longitudinal evaluation will be carried out on the experimental arm with a follow-up visit (FUp) at 3, 6 and 12 months.
Aortic dissection (AD) is a clinical condition belonging to the broader spectrum of Acute Aortic Syndromes, with high morbidity and mortality and characterised by the sudden formation of a breach within the tonaca intima of the aortic wall, from which the so-called false lumen originates.The most common risk factor for AD is hypertension, present in more than 70% of.~Imaging, biomarkers and genetic predisposition are critical in confirming a suspected diagnosis and in determining the appropriate intervention for each patient. Specific features influencing management decisions are the presence of rupture, extent of dissection, origin of true or false lumen vessels and signs of organ ischaemia.
