An Aortic Aneurysm is a serious condition where a part of the aorta — the main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body — becomes weak and bulges outward like a balloon. If left untreated, the aneurysm can grow and may eventually rupture, leading to life-threatening internal bleeding.
Several factors can weaken the walls of the aorta, leading to the development of an aneurysm, including:
✅ Atherosclerosis (Hardening of Arteries)
✅ High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
✅ Genetic Disorders such as Marfan syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
✅ Smoking
✅ Age (More common in people over 60 years)
✅ Infections affecting the aorta
✅ Trauma or injury to the chest or abdomen
If you have risk factors, regular check-ups with a vascular specialist are recommended.
