Aortic aneurism are very common
One out of every three adults will experience an aneurysm during their lives. Aortic anemias often lead to heart failure, stroke, and even death. If you are diagnosed with an aortic aneurism, you may find that the doctor cannot determine if the cause of your heart problem is aortic aneurias or other factors.
There are two different types of injuries, namely stenosis and atherosclerosis. Aortic stenosis occurs when the vessel (artery) is narrowed. Aortic stenosis has no obvious symptoms, however; in fact, some patients may be first detected during a checkup for another ailment. If the aortic stenosis continues to grow, it may rupture. The smooth layers of the arterial wall can separate (anemic dissection) and then bleed into the surrounding tissue.
The symptoms of anemic dissection include pain in the chest or abdomen, vomiting, nausea or a feeling of being sick, and fever. You may also feel a slight pressure, like being full, on your chest. If you suspect you have this type of aortic aneurism, you should see your doctor immediately. If an arterial dissection is suspected, you should go see your physician as soon as possible.
Another form of aortic anemia is atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis occurs when the body's protective cuff surrounding the heart gradually weakens over time. This causes the heart to pump less blood and therefore cause the heart muscle to weaken. Symptoms include a feeling of lightheadedness, dizziness, blurred vision and pain in the upper chest. If you have these symptoms, see your doctor immediately. If your doctor diagnoses you with aortic artery disease or atherosclerosis, there are several things you can do to treat the disease to slow the progression of the disease.

Your doctor can help you with this with a prescription that lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol. levels. Cholesterol is good cholesterol, and raising it helps prevent heart disease. CVD). In addition, doctors may prescribe medications to reduce plaque on the walls of arteries and thus reduce the risk of rupture and other aneurysmal complications.
Treatment options differ depending on the location of the aorta and the severity of the aneurysmal complication. In patients with stenosis, surgery may be performed to open the artery. In patients with atherosclerosis, a procedure known as ultrasound stenosis may be used to close the artery. In more serious cases, a device called balloon angioplasty can be used to replace the damaged vessel.
While the cause of aortic aneuria isn't necessarily related to heart problems, if you've recently had an unexpected heart attack, your doctor will want to take a look. If you are at risk of a heart attack, your doctor may order a follow-up physical examination. to rule out other heart problems, such as heart valve problems, heart attacks, or arrhythmias.
To prevent a stroke or heart attack, the patient should always wear aortic protection. If you already have an aortic aneurysis, you can wear an aortic splint or collar to keep the artery closed. If you have a normal artery, you can wear a traditional splint. People 65 and older may also need a special cuff to hold the closure of the aorta in place. In addition, people with diabetes may need to take antidiuretics to lower their blood sugar. As a last resort, overweight or obese patients should also talk to their doctor to avoid sudden weight gain.
