Aortic dissection incidence in TS is estimated at 0.6–1.4% with a median age of 30–35 years of age. 9

Adult patients with TS frequently show electrocardiographic abnormalities, including axis deviation to the right, T-wave abnormalities, accelerated AV conduction and prolongation of the QT-interval, often independent from structural defects. 10 Essential hypertension affects up to a 25% of adolescents and 50% of adult patients.
