A 62-year-old male with a history of hypertension presents with sudden onset severe chest pain radiating to the back, along with a measured difference in blood pressure between his arms of more than 20 mmHg. A subsequent chest X-ray reveals a widened mediastinum. Considering the Stanford Classification System, which type of aortic dissection typically necessitates emergent surgery as a first-line treatment?

A 65-year-old male patient with a long-standing history of hypertension presents to the emergency department with intense chest pain radiating to his back. The sudden onset of pain, along with an examination and imaging studies, leads to a diagnosis of Stanford type B aortic dissection.

A 58-year-old male with history of hypertension, diabetes, and smoking is admitted to the emergency department after presenting with severe, sharp chest pain. A CT scan confirms a Stanford Type A aortic dissection. His heart rate is maintained at a steady 60 bpm with β-blockers. Based on international guidelines, what is the recommended systolic blood pressure (SBP) goal for this patient post initial heart rate control?
