Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) — Risk Factors and Prognosis
Aortic aneurysm is a common and serious condition that can be fatal upon rupture. The aneurysm can be detected months or years before a rupture occurs but commonly goes undetected, due to its asymptomatic nature in its early stages. Ideally, early detection prevents complications and reduces the mortality rate of this condition. Knowledge on Aortic aneurysm is essential for physicians, especial...
متن کاملPathophysiology of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm – Genetic Factors and Homocysteine Metabolism
Homocysteine (Hcy) is a non-protein amino acid resulting from the demethylation of the essential amino acid methionine. This is an important step in the metabolism of nucleic acids, fats and high-energy bonds and for this reason, the transmethylation reaction of Hcy back to methionine requiring Vitamin B12 and folic acid, is equally important. This pathway is dependent on a form of folate produ...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography (PET) evaluation of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
BACKGROUND aneurysmal disease is associated with an inflammatory cell infiltrate and enzymatic degradation of the vessel wall. AIM OF THE STUDY to detect increased metabolic activity in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) by means of positron emission tomography (PET-imaging). STUDY DESIGN twenty-six patients with AAA underwent PET-imaging. RESULTS in ten patients, PET-imaging revealed incre...
متن کاملDrug Therapy for Small Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Dear Editor,Abdominal aortic aneurysm is often asymptomatic, less recognized, and causes considerable mortality and morbidity, if missed. The incidence varies from country to country and the occurrence is influenced by modifiable (smoking, coronary heart disease, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and prolonged steroid therapy) and non-modifiable risk factors (increasing age, male gender, and positive...
متن کاملAbdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA): The Decision Pathway in Ruptured and Non-Ruptured AAA
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) derives from Greek α┥єυρυσ┤α (aneurusma), meaning widening, and can defined as a permanent and irreversible dilatation of a vessel. In 1991 the Society for vascular Surgery proposed as a criterion that the infra renal aorta diameter should be 1.5 times the expected normal diameter. In Europe it is defined as an abdominal aorta greater than 30mm. AAA is assumed to...
