Arterial Aneurysms Explained: AAA, TAA & Aortic Dissection | Pathology, Symptoms & Risk Factors

In this lecture, we dive deep into Arterial Aneurysms, often referred to as the "silent killer." We break down the pathophysiology behind why arteries bulge, the critical differences between true aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms, and the physics (Law of Laplace) that makes them dangerous. We specifically cover the two main culprits: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms (TAA), including their specific causes, risk factors (like smoking and genetics), and rupture warnings. We also explore peripheral aneurysms (Popliteal) and the "Trash Foot" phenomenon, before clarifying the vital distinction between an aneurysm and an aortic dissection. 📥 High-yield notes, quick revision mindmap & quiz on this topic at https://medmindmaps.com/?p=607 Hashtags: #Aneurysm, #AorticAneurysm, #AAA, #AorticDissection, #Pathology, #Cardiology, #MedicalEducation, #USMLE, #NCLEX, #VascularSurgery, #MedSchool, #HumanAnatomy, #CardiovascularDisease, #MedMindMaps, #ThoracicAneurysm
