Mild increase in systolic and diastolic BP can increase the risk of aortic dissection, according to a recent study published in the Circulation.
Hypertension or elevated blood pressure (BP) is an important risk factor for aortic dissection (AD); however, few prospective studies concerning this topic have been published. They investigated the association between hypertension/elevated BP and AD in two cohorts and conducted a meta-analysis of published prospective studies, including these two studies.
