First we must understand what Aortic Anurysm means:
So, Lets break it down:
The first part of the word Aortic - refers to the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body.
The next part of the word: Aneurysm - describes a disease process where there is abnormal widening or stretching of a portion of an artery.
This is due to weakening of the blood vessel.
This can be caused by a number of different reasons including:
AtheroSclerosis - This is the most common cause.
ArtheroSclerosis means: hardening of the arteries (normally the aortic wall is very elastic)
There are many different types of Aortic Aneurysms, depending on the location and also the shape of the aneurysm. with different signs and symptoms associated with each:
One is: Ascending Aneurysm which is also known as Thoracic Aneurysm
- Signs and symptoms of this type of aneurysm include:
- Bradycardia
- blood pressure differences in the right & left arm
- jugular vein distention
-Murmur
AND
-PeriCardial friction rub

Another type is a Abdominal Aneurysm.


- There are usually no symptoms associated with this type of aneurysm however if you listen to the heart you may be able to hear a bruit.

Diagnostic test include:
- Echocardiography or Cardiac Echo - which is an ultrasound that can show the aneurysm and also it’s size
- A dissecting Aortic Aneurysm requires emergency surgery.
