Abstract

Aortic dissection is one of the three types of acute aortic syndromes, which has a determined mortality rate according to its type. Improvement in survival is possible through diagnostic and treatment advances. However, a great number of these patients frequently experience physical and mental disability after hospital discharge. Thus, we report a case of a woman with aortic dissection diagnosis, who joined a supervised physical training program and a brief review of evidence, demonstrating benefits and safety of cardiac rehabilitation in this pathology.

La disección aórtica es uno de los tres tipos de los síndromes aórticos agudos, que tienen una tasa de mortalidad determinada según su tipo. La mejora en la supervivencia es posible debido a los avances en el diagnóstico y el tratamiento. Sin embargo, un gran número de estos pacientes, con frecuencia experimentan discapacidad física y mental después del alta hospitalaria. Por lo tanto, se presenta el caso de una mujer con diagnóstico de Disección Aórtica, que se incorporó a un programa de entrenamiento físico supervisado, así como, una breve revisión de la evidencia, demostrando los beneficios y la seguridad de la rehabilitación cardíaca en pacientes con esta patología.
