Aortic Dissection prognosis
Prognosis of Aortic Dissection: quality of life, limitations and outlook, from research and from people who live with it.
It is unlikely to get better but good medical management and lifestyle can make your life as normal as possible

Acute Aortic dissection is a deadly condition. A patient need immidiate medical care to survive. Depending on where the dissection occurrs on the aorta, how it develops, and many other things, a patient can die within minutes, or survive. It is not easy to give a general prognosis, more than that chanses for survival increases significantly if the patient is brought to advanced medical care immidiatley.
Having had medical care, many patients can live up to 5, 10, 20 or even more years. This is also very individual, depending on how the dissection occurred and how it was treated, among many other factors influencing survival after getting ill. Such things can be need of further surgery, complications in organs due to the initial dissection etc etc.

The prognosis for an untreated aortic dissection is very poor with 90% of patients dying within 30 days.
However, following the repair my prognosis should be good, although I don't think they're is enough empirical data to provide an accurate life expectancy.

If not treated the fatality is high

About 20% of people die before reaching the hospital. About 30% of people reading the hospital die. For survivors, is about 60% at 5 years and 40% at 10 years. How life will be after that varies greatly. Some people go into a Great Depression, other handle it well. There will always be problems and, no, the condition isn’t curable, but is manageable.

IT is a chronic condition one who suffers from the condition will require oversight and Regular imagining a reading of the same.... each of us is different IN our Outlooks I'm aware of a lad who was a high school baseball and swimmer he was swimming practice laps when he felt a tearing feeling He went to the hospital several times before they caught that he had a dissection at all Thankfully it wasn't Bleeding "out" he recovered and went back to high school swimming which is of course aerobic... I dont know how MUCH he "lost" others with Genetic connections might find these layers separate all over the body due to the genetic condition they have.... if one controls diet exercise the negatives like salt and cholesterol and diet... AT My ten year mark MY legs and feet are my main issue MY BP is low MY cholesterol is great MY blood work is realtivly normal couple things I need to work on Life is good when your alive

Good prognosis if treated in time, but it is a chronic condition with some lifelong limitations regarding training / lifting using arms / chest.

It must have open heart surgery. I do not know if it can get better.
