Sorry, I meant in youngish, reasonably healthy people. This just isn't something that should be happening to them. I get so annoyed at people dying from undiagnosed issues that are easy to see. The conditions that you have from birth usually present with a thin/bulging aorta loooong before an aneurysm/dissection. And the dissections almost always happen to people who don't have coronary disease but something you can't do anything about...except surgery when you see the bulge to prevent the dissection.
Everything not genetic takes years and years to do damage. For example, smokers don't have aortic aneurysms under 50 or so unless they are ALSO fat.
