Aortic Aneurysm
Aortic aneurysm, also known as aneurysm of the aorta, is a serious condition that can lead to significant bleeding or even death if left untreated. It is a dilation of the aorta, which is the largest blood vessel in the body. The aortic aneurysm can develop in any part of the aorta, but it is most common in the area just distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery. Symptoms of aortic aneurysm may include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, dizziness, lightheadedness, and swelling in the legs. Other possible symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and a rapid heartbeat. The diagnosis of aortic aneurysm is usually made through a physical examination, imaging tests, or a procedure called echocardiogram. Treatment options include medications to manage symptoms and improve blood flow, and surgical repair or replacement of the aneurysm. It is important to note that aneurysms are a serious condition that can lead to significant bleeding or even death if left untreated. If you experience any symptoms of aortic aneurysm, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
