Aneurysms 💉❤️
❗️Aneurysm❗️ An aneurysm occurs when an artery’s wall weakens and causes an abnormally large bulge. This bulge can rupture and cause internal bleeding. Although an aneurysm can occur in any part of body, they’re most common in the: 🔹brain 🔹aorta 🔹legs 🔹spleen ❓What Causes an Aneurysm❓ Although the exact cause of an aneurysm is unclear, certain factors contribute to the condition. For example, damaged tissue in the arteries can play a role. The arteries can be harmed by blockages, such as fatty deposits. These deposits can trigger the heart to pump harder than necessary to push blood past the fatty buildup. This stress can damage the arteries because of the increased pressure. ❓Are There Different Types of Aneurysms❓ An aneurysm may occur anywhere in your body, but the most common locations of aneurysms are: 🔶Aorta The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body. It begins at the left ventricle of the heart and travels down the abdomen where it splits off into both legs. The aorta is a common site for arterial aneurysms. 🔹Aneurysms in the chest cavity are called thoracic aortic aneurysms. 🔹Abdominal aortic aneurysms are the most common type. In rare cases, both the chest and abdomen can be affected by arterial damage. 🔶Brain Aneurysms in the brain can be any size. These often form in the blood vessels that lie deep within the brain. They also may not present any symptoms or signs. People may not even know you have an aneurysm. Aneurysms of this type may cause bleeding in as many as 3 percent of people. 🔶Other Areas You can also find an aneurysm in the artery behind knee, in spleen, or in intestines.
