Evaluating D-dimer and Fibrinogen Levels for Diagnosing Aortic Dissection

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the diagnostic value of the D-dimer/fibrinogen ratio in patients diagnosed with acute aortic dissection and acute pulmonary embolism. Given the rarity and life-threatening nature of acute aortic dissection, timely and accurate diagnosis is critical. The study aims to determine if the D-dimer/fibrinogen ratio can enhance diagnostic accuracy for these conditions. Participants will be assessed based on their D-dimer and fibrinogen levels to evaluate the effectiveness of this diagnostic approach.
