Discover more about Aortic Aneurysm with insights from Dr. Krishna Chaitanya, Lead Consultant in Vascular and Endovascular Surgery. Aortic Aneurysm, often underestimated, is a critical form of heart disease. While we commonly associate heart disease with valve issues or blood flow blockages, Aortic Aneurysm occurs due to weakened and enlarged artery walls. Gain valuable insights from Dr. Chaitanya on this lesser-known yet significant condition. Aortic Aneurysm is explained as the weakening and ballooning of blood vessels. Dr. Chaitanya provides an analogous example of a bubble in a wet tire for better understanding. Arterial weakening can be caused by factors such as smoking, poor diet, genetic issues, or natural aging. If left unaddressed, arterial weakening can lead to serious health complications. Dr. Chaitanya also discusses the risk of aortic aneurysm in different age groups and emphasizes the importance of prevention to avoid sudden deaths due to insufficient research on heart issues.
