A member asked:
What is atherosclerotic calcification of the nonaneurysmal abdominal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You have atherosclerosis ("hardening") of your aorta in your abdomen. There is no aneurysm (a balloon-like enlargement and weakness) and therefore little or no risk of rupturing, which is good. However, the atherosclerosis could be affecting other arteries, like coronary, carotid, or cerebral arteries with risks of heart attack or stroke. Ask your doctor if treatment is advised. Good luck.
