Description
Sun and colleagues charted when acute aortic dissection strikes in east China in 2026, using records from 1,038 confirmed patients treated between 2009 and 2025. A dissection is a tear in the wall of the aorta, the body's main artery, and it kills quickly without care. The team looked for daily, weekly, and seasonal rhythms, and compared the two dissection types and men against women.
Men made up 73.9 percent of patients, and the average age was 55.7 years at the time of the tear. Onset peaked in the early evening, with 21.4 percent of cases starting between 5 and 8 pm, and dipped in the small hours after midnight. Winter carried the heaviest load at 32.6 percent of cases, while summer carried the lightest at 17.4 percent, a seasonal gap the analysis rated highly significant for hospital planning.
