My husband's father %26 his fathers 2 siblings all had abdominal aortic aneurysms(sp?). My husband's father was 63, his aunt is about 78; his uncle was about 72 when diagnosed. My husband had a stomach ultrasound approximately 4 years ago. There were no signs of an abdominal aortic aneursym. His mother and her side of the family have no abdominal or any kind of aneurysms. What are my husband's chances of getting this?
Answer:
Personally I do not believe that abdominal aortic aneurysm is genetically related. Some diseases run in the family because they have similar health practices, eat the same food prepared, live in the same environment thus are exposed to the factors that may cause the problem.Unknown to many, blood vessel walls become weak due to the stress exerted by the blood running inside it. When the blood becomes acidic and more viscous, it exerts greater pressure against the wall of the bld vessel particularly the arteries since the artery is the vessel that requires pressure to circulate blood throughout the body. This causes injury on the vessel walls making then weak and fragile to develop aneurysm and rupture to cause immediate bleeding.So try to study the health history of ur husband's clan/family. Where did they live when they were younger? Urban or rural? Any industrial plants in their locality? What is their principal beverage? Coffee, tea, soda, alcohol, favorite food, etc? If they were exposed to acidifying substances then the risk of having vessel damage will be there.Ur husband is negative of aortic aneurysm as of the latest ultrasound report. So keep the risk away. Stay away from the substances I mentioned earlier esp coffee, tea, sodas, chocolates and alcoholic beverages. These are dehydrating agents and therefore make the blood more viscous and thick. When this happens, greater pressure is required by the heart to push/pump the blood throughout the body. Addition to it, drink more water and keep the body well hydrated thru this method. Dissolve 1/4 tsp of sea salt to 1 quart of water. Salt retains water in the body and so will hydrate the body more efficiently. Drink the water as follows: Depending on the size of the person: Take 16-24 ounces upon waking up in the morning, 8-16 ounces half hr before every meal, and 2 and a half hrs after meals, then 16-24 ounces at bedtime. Replace every urination with 8 ounces of water. When the body is well hydrated, there will be more water in the blood vessels and thereby diluting the blood to its optimal consistency. Blood flow will be better and easier and will cause less stress and injury to the blood vessel wall and prevents the vessel walls from weakening and ballooning into aneurysms.Add abt 350 mg of magnesium daily. This will strengthen the vessel walls, correct the damaged linings of the vessel walls and it is also an anti-coagulant.
this question is for his doctor. AAA can happen to anyone.
