Advancements in Serum Biomarkers for Early Diagnosis and Prognostic Assessment of Aortic Dissection.

Abstract

Aortic dissection (AD) is a potentially fatal cardiovascular issue that needs to be diagnosed and treated very away. While early detection is essential for bettering patient outcomes, there are substantial obstacles with the diagnostic techniques used today. Promising pathways for improving AD prognosis evaluation and early detection are presented by recent developments in serum biomarkers. The most recent research on serum biomarkers for AD is reviewed here, with an emphasis on the prognostic and diagnostic utility of these indicators. A number of biomarkers, including as matrix metalloproteinases, soluble elastin fragments, smooth muscle myosin heavy chain, and D-dimer, have been identified as putative markers of AD. These indicators are indicative of multiple pathophysiological mechanisms associated with AD, including inflammation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and vascular damage. Research has indicated that they are useful in differentiating AD from other acute cardiovascular diseases, facilitating prompt diagnosis and risk assessment.
