In Grahams case it’s possible but there’s other things that can set it off like stress and cortisol and hormones imbalance weakening the artery wall also with increased BP.
Since they didn’t get him to the hospital immediately to experienced qualified cardiologist since this was way over the heads of emt im wondering if they thought it was a heart attack like MI and treating it as such instead when the aortic tear depending on he severity how much time you have to fix it was bleeding out so the body tries to stop it by forming clots they may have mistaken for a MI.
It was possible it was cortisol stress related contributed with sclerotic arteries and high or elevated at the time BP.. blood pressure. That’s a long distance guess. Excuse Auto incorrects
