Hypertension is a common clinical picture, and an important risk factor for coronary heart disease. Hypertensive episodes, also known as severe hypertension, a rapid rise in blood pressure from normal levels, may occur in 1% of patients with chronic hypertension. There are two clinical types: acute hypertensive crisis, often accompanied by target organ damage, and hypertensive urgency.

An aortic aneurysm occurs when the inner layer of the artery is torn, allowing blood to rapidly separate the middle layer of the artery wall. This is a medical emergency, and diagnostic imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of aortic dissection.

Some acute diseases such as aortic aneurysm and dissection, if not diagnosed early and promptly, can be fatal if the aortic aneurysm ruptures. Aortic computed tomography helps to quickly and accurately diagnose some acute and chronic diseases of the aorta.

Aortic dissection, also known as aortic dissection, is known as an aortic catastrophe with a frequency of 5-30 cases per 1 million people per year. With a mortality rate of about 1%/hour for the first 48 hours. Why is aortic dissection dangerous? Please read through the following article.
