(HealthNewsDigest.com)-Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a ballooning of the abdominal aorta, the artery that carries blood from the heart to the lower part of the body. AAA is a potentially life-threatening condition unless diagnosed early and successfully treated by a specialty-trained vascular surgeon. Research suggests more than 1 million people are living with an undiagnosed AAA. (Joe Theismann pictured with Mike McCurdy, publisher of HealthNewsDigest.com)

The risk for AAA increases if you:

• Are over the age of 60

• Are male

• Smoke or have smoked more than 100 cigarettes

• Have a family history of AAA

• Have clogged arteries

• Have high blood pressure

• Have high cholesterol.

If you or a loved one is at risk, speak with your doctor about a simple noninvasive screening test. If an AAA is diagnosed, see a vascular surgeon who is best skilled to treat your condition with medication, minimally invasive procedures or, in the most severe cases, surgery. Go to www.FindtheAAAnswers.org and www.VascularWeb.org to learn more about AAA.
