| Abstract (English): |
The right coronary artery involvement occurs in 1-2% of aortic dissection and may cause atrioventricular (AV) block due to obstruction of blood supply to the AV node. A 59-year-old man with a history of hypertension presented to the emergency department with chest pain and complete AV block. After the diagnostic approach, aortic dissection Stanford A was diagnosed. Aortic dissection must be suspected in hypertensive patients who present with AV block and chest pain.

La obstrucción de la coronaria derecha debida a extensión de disección aórtica ocurre en el 1 a 2% de los casos y puede ocasionar bloqueo auriculoventricular. En este caso se presenta a un paciente de 59 años con antecedente de hipertensión que acudió al servicio de urgencias por dolor precordial y bloqueo auriculoventricular completo. Tras el abordaje inicial se diagnosticó disección aórtica (Stanford A). Se debe sospechar la presencia de disección aórtica en pacientes con descontrol hipertensivo, bloqueo auriculoventricular completo y dolor torácico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
