Cardiac arterial dissection with vessel rupture is an acute medical condition commonly presenting symptoms such as severe chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. These symptoms may rapidly worsen within a short period and, in severe cases, can even lead to cardiac arrest.

Diagnosis is confirmed through tests including electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests, and echocardiography. Treatment for cardiac arterial dissection with vessel rupture includes both medication and surgical interventions. Medication aims to relieve symptoms by controlling blood pressure and reducing cardiac workload. Vessel tears are repaired via interventional procedures or open-chest surgery to restore blood flow and prevent further complications of arterial dissection.

If you experience any discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
