Less than 50% of people with a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm survive. The good news is the outcome is usually good when an AAA is monitored carefully and if surgical repair is performed before the aorta ruptures. Risk Factors Unfortunately, there are often no symptoms, which makes obtainin...
Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a relatively common condition associated with well-defined cardiovascular risk factors. A 74-year-old Caucasian man with a 100-pack-year history of cigarette smoking and generalized atherosclerotic disease manifested by symptomatic carotid artery disease and peripheral artery di...
BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a leading cause of death in the USA. We evaluated the incidence and predictors of AAA in a prospectively followed cohort. METHODS: We calculated age-adjusted AAA incidence rates (IR) among 18782 participants aged 65years in the Southern Community ...
