Abdominal aortic aneurysm screening
An abdominal aortic aneurysm is an enlarged area in the aorta, the major artery that runs from the heart to the abdomen. If an aortic aneurysm gets too big, it has a risk of rupturing, which can be life threatening. The strongest risk factors for an abdominal aortic aneurysm are family history, being male and smoking. Screening is sometimes recommended for men between the ages of 65-75.
