A member asked:
If you have an aneurysm of the aorta, would the bp be the same in both legs and both arms? what other blood tests and clinical findings could detect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More info needed: Depends where along the aorta the aneurysm is. The aorta ascends from the left side of the heart and then takes a turn, diving downward toward a spot just before the pelvis, where it splits into the iliac arteries. A lateralizing effect of an aneurysm (or lack thereof) will depend on its location. You may require and abdominal ultrasound or CT angiogram for visualization.
