Abstract

Ultrasound has taken a solid position in the diagnostic management of aneurysms of the abdominal aorta as it is a non-invasive, simple and quickly practicable method with a low expenditure. After clinical examination ultrasound holds the second place in the sequence of various diagnostic procedures in the case of an aneurysm of abdominal aorta. Diagnostic problems are demonstrated in the sonographic judgement of aortic aneurysms. 42 patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm have been evaluated in relation to the sonographic features of the aneurysm.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
