Successful treatment of aortic rupture presenting as a syncope: the role of echocardiography in diagnosis
Abstract
A syncope was the first symptom of aortic rupture in a patient with chronic arterial hypertension. This syncope was the consequence of an acute haemopericardium which resulted in a sudden drop of the cardiac output. Urgent echocardiographic examination in the emergency room made early diagnosis and life-saving pericardiocentesis possible.

Aortic stenosis, obstructive cardiac tumours or thrombi, pericardial tamponade, and aortic dissection are the most probable causes of syncope when the electrocardiogram shows the typical features of these conditions.

Echocardiography identifies the cause of syncope in very few patients when no more tests are needed, i.e. severe aortic stenosis, obstructive cardiac tumours or thrombi, pericardial tamponade, or aortic dissection.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
