For acute dissection, parenteral beta-adrenergic blockers (IV propranolol, metoprolol, labetalol or esmolol) should be administered to achieve a heart rate of ~60 beats/min.

Isolated use of direct vasodilators like diazoxide and hydralazine is contraindicated because these agents can increase hydraulic shear and may propagate dissection.
