Aortic aneurysm?
That’s an excellent question. In some cases, the patient will complain of pain in the upper back or a tearing sensation if the aneurysm is dissecting (tearing). Unfortunately, many patients do not experience any symptoms whatsoever until the aneurysm ruptures or tears which is a life-threatening situation. The good news is an aneurysm can be easily, safely, and expensively diagnosed with a simple cardiac ultrasound and an abdominal ultrasound if the physician can feel a mass or if it shows up on a routine scan as an incidental finding. There are surgical as well as minimally invasive procedures for the repair or removal of an aneurysm depending on multiple factors. In my opinion, all patients should have a cardiac ultrasound early in their adult life as a screening technique. You may discuss this with your family doctor, internist, or cardiologist for more information. Thank you. READ MORE
