A member asked:
If the aorta is the thickest artery how come it's one of the most usual to rupture? is it likely my aorta will rupture with extreme bp when training?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not always: ur restin bp should be controlled 130/80. then regular gradual training. high Bp over time will make aorta rupture. So control bp
