Absence or low individual and public risk
Coronary artery aneurysm and dissection - what does this mean
Coronary artery aneurysm and dissection occur when the walls of the coronary arteries become weakened and stretched, leading to the formation of a bulge (aneurysm) or tear (dissection). this can be caused by a number of factors, including atherosclerosis, trauma, infection, and congenital defects. these conditions can lead to a decrease in blood flow to the heart, resulting in chest pain, heart attack, and even death.
What happens during the disease - coronary artery aneurysm and dissection
Coronary artery aneurysm and dissection are caused by a combination of factors, including an underlying congenital defect in the arterial wall, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. these factors weaken the arterial wall and cause it to bulge, leading to an aneurysm, and eventually rupture, leading to a dissection. in some cases, the aneurysm can be treated with medications or surgery, but a dissection may require more extensive treatment.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Medical history and physical examination
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Echocardiogram (ECHO)
- Chest X-ray
- CT Angiography (CTA)
- Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)
- Cardiac Catheterization
- Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE)
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce the risk of complications and improve the patient's prognosis.
- Prescribe medications to reduce blood pressure and risk of clotting.
- Monitor patient's blood pressure, heart rate, and other vital signs.
- Perform imaging tests to determine the size and location of the aneurysm.
- Perform surgery to repair the aneurysm and/or the dissected artery.
- Administer medications to reduce inflammation and pain.
- Provide lifestyle advice to reduce risk factors such as smoking, obesity, and high cholesterol.
- Recommend lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and a healthy diet.
- Encourage the patient to stop smoking and reduce alcohol consumption.
- Refer the patient to a nutritionist for dietary advice.
- Refer the patient to a cardiologist for follow-up care.
13 Days of Hospitalization Required

Coronary artery aneurysm and dissection - Prevention
The best way to prevent coronary artery aneurysm and dissection is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. additionally, it is important to have regular check-ups with a healthcare provider to monitor for risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
