Are YOU at Risk For an Aortic Aneurysm?

Take control of your own health and find out your personal risk for developing an aortic aneurysm.

 

Simply answer a few simple questions about your health.  If you answer "yes" to 2 or more of the risk factor questions, then you should consider contacting either your doctor or an aortic disease specialist about receiving a simple aortic aneurysm screening test.

 

This risk factor assessment is not meant for self-diagnosis and is a general guide and informational tool.  Ultimately, only your doctor can evaluate your aortic aneurysm risk factors and determine if you should be screened for an aortic aneurysm.
