Hello I've just started following this group and have a question as the recently widowed 62 year old woman. My man died from a dissecting aorta in a matter of minutes. He had been feeling unwell and had pain in the Left side of his chest - on the side only! ECG was clear. Nothing else was looked into until he collapsed for the second time ( in hospital- where he had been in Energency for 12 hours) They did a CT then but it was too lste! Would a CT on arrival at emergency have shown anything prior to his collapse? As in would he have had an Aneurysm priop to dissection or is it usually just a spontaneous thing? I just want to know as I am not handling his passing too well and just want to know what actually happened so I can work it out in my own head? Thank you in advance to anyone that answers❣️
