The diagnosis was highlighted in bloody red on the System panel at the upper right corner of Zheng Ren's vision—type I aortic dissection.
An aortic dissection was defined as a tear in the intimal layer of the aorta that resulted in the propagation of dissection, either proximally or distally, secondary to blood entering the intima-media space.
It was an acute, life-threatening condition with its chance of occurrence ranging between one-one-hundred-thousandth and one-two-hundred-thousandth, commonly seen in patients suffering from hypertension or arteriosclerosis.
Despite its extremely low probability, it was actually not uncommon in a hospital.
Millions of people lived in the city, and dozens would suffer this disease each year, a dreadful condition for all clinicians.
In Sea City, this disease was… incurable.
Even if type I aortic dissection was surgically treated in the provincial capital, the chance of survival remained low as well.
