Doctor explains ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM (AAA) | Symptoms, risk factors, treatment, screening.

In this video you will learn key things you need to know about an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, also known as a triple A (AAA); including a definition, symptoms, risk factors, treatment options and NHS screening. An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a bulge or swelling in the aorta, the main blood vessel that runs from the heart down through the chest and tummy. An AAA can be dangerous if it is not spotted early on. It can get bigger over time and could burst (rupture), causing life-threatening bleeding. CALL EMERGENCY SERVICES if this happens. Screening for AAA is routinely offered by the NHS to all men aged 65 and over. Women aged 70 or over, who have underlying risk factors such as high blood pressure, may also be advised to attend screening for AAA.
