Which of the following is the MOST common cause of aortic dissection is:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Poorly controlled hypertension is the most common cause of aortic dissection. Hypertension increases the pressure within the aorta, leading to damage to the aortic wall and making it more susceptible to tearing. Diabetes, liver disease, and kidney disease can contribute to cardiovascular problems, but they are not the primary causes of aortic dissection. Managing blood pressure is critical in preventing this life-threatening condition.
