Clinical features

From HPO
Coronary aneurysm
MedGen UID:
3622

Abdominal aortic aneurysm
MedGen UID:
56524
•Concept ID:
C0162871

Coronary artery dissection
MedGen UID:
881843
•Concept ID:
C0340648
•
Disease or Syndrome
Acute occurrence of a dissection (tear within the tunica intima and entry of blood into the tunica media) of a coronary artery.

Ascending aortic dissection
MedGen UID:
322966
•Concept ID:
C1836653
•
Disease or Syndrome
A separation of the layers within the wall of the ascending aorta. Tears in the intimal layer result in the propagation of dissection (proximally or distally) secondary to blood entering the intima-media space.

Descending aortic dissection
MedGen UID:
868484
•Concept ID:
C4022878
•
Disease or Syndrome
A separation of the layers within the wall of the descending aorta. Tears in the intimal layer result in the propagation of dissection (proximally or distally) secondary to blood entering the intima-media space.
