What is Aortic Disease?

The aorta is the largest artery in the body. Aortic diseases include aneurysm (abnormal widening) and dissection (tearing of the arterial wall layers).

Aortic Aneurysm

Dilation of the aorta beyond 1.5 times its normal diameter. Usually silent; rupture is life-threatening.

Aortic Dissection

Tearing of the inner aortic wall layer. Presents with sudden, severe chest or back pain and requires immediate intervention.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Echocardiography and CT angiography are used. Small aneurysms are monitored regularly; advanced cases require surgery or endovascular stent-grafting.

Other Diagnoses

Hyperlipidemia

A metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood lipid levels. One of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Peripheral Artery Disease

Atherosclerotic disease affecting arteries outside the heart and brain. May cause leg pain, numbness and difficulty walking.

Aortic Insufficiency

Incomplete closure of the aortic valve causing blood to leak back into the left ventricle. Usually asymptomatic early on.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

Known as the silent killer, hypertension is a persistent elevation of blood pressure. It can be controlled with early diagnosis and regular treatment.
