Background The elevated D-dimer value is one of the clues used to diagnose acute aortic dissection (AAD), but the rapid D-dimer assay is not used at all emergency hospitals. The fibrinogen/fibrin degradation products (FDP) value is also an indicator of enhanced fibrinolysis and may therefore be a useful marker in patients with AAD. In addition, the association between FDP values and partial thrombosis of the false lumen is not elucidated.Patients The present study enrolled 50 patients (66.5 +/- 11.2 years of age; median, 66.5 years of age, male subjects comprised 60.0% of the series) with AAD who were admitted to the hospital between July 2005 and December 2007 and 57 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI; 70.8 +/- 10.4 years of age; median, 71.0 years of age, male subjects comprised 71.9% of the current series) served as a control group.Results The FDP values (mu g/mL) in patients with AAD were significantly higher than those of AMI patients (40.2 +/- 78.6; median, 14.7 vs. 5.2 +/- 9.8; median, 1.7, p
