Research Notes on Aortic Aneurysm
An aortic aneurysm is a bulge in a section of the aorta, one of the large arteries that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Typically with an arotic aneurysm the widening of the aorta is 1.5 times its normal size. If the aorta ruptures, it can cause serious bleeding that can quickly lead to death.
Fast Facts:
- The most common risk factors of an aortic aneurysm are smoking, high blood pressure and diabetes.
- Most aneurysms cause few symptoms if any they may include abdominal or lower back pain.
- Treatment depends on the size of the aneurysm however surgery may be indicated.
- The best prevention is quit smoking, eating a healthy diet and a health blood pressure.
