The Department is funding research on spontaneous coronary artery disease through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). The NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre are investigating the genetic risks of Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection to improve treatment and prevention of the condition.

In March 2022, NHS England launched the Aortic Dissection Toolkit which sets out key actions that commissioners, service providers and clinicians should take to improve the care of patients with acute aortic dissection. The toolkit covers all aspects of care from recognition and diagnosis of the condition to treatment.

In addition, the National Health Service has also made changes to NHS Pathways, the triage system used by NHS 111 and 999, to help improve the recognition of chest pain likely to be associated with aortic dissection. This will assist in the rapid diagnosis of the condition to help save lives.
