This estimation of the genetic contributions to aortic dissection may actually be an underestimate secondary to silent thoracic aneurysms being undiagnosed and an under-utilization of genetic testing in the clinical arena. There are syndromic conditions with systemic manifestations of disease

The pathophysiology of these pathologies is discussed elsewhere; our charge is to address the clinical management of the conditions and how we may use the guideline direction available to us in that regard. Some societal guidelines do exist, however they are
