Unmasking nonspecific pain – clinical clues and diagnostic challenges in acute aortic syndromes: Case series
These cases emphasize the diagnostic challenges of aortic pathologies in the context of misleading clinical features. Physicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for acute aortic syndromes, particularly when encountering atypical or refractory pain in patients with cardiovascular risk factors. Early diagnosis and adherence to guideline-based management are critical to improving survival in these high-risk emergencies.
