Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening

Take a Closer Look at One of Your Body’s Most Important Blood Vessels

The aorta is the body's largest artery. It carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) occurs when a weakened area of the aorta in the abdomen becomes enlarged or bulges outward.

Many abdominal aortic aneurysms may develop without noticeable symptoms, making awareness and appropriate screening particularly important for people who may have increased risk factors.

What Does an AAA Screening Do?

Fact DNA's Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening uses non-invasive ultrasound technology to examine the abdominal aorta and look for an enlargement or other findings that may warrant further medical evaluation.

The screening can provide valuable information about your vascular health and may help you have a more informed conversation with your healthcare provider about whether additional evaluation or monitoring is appropriate.

Why AAA Screening Matters

An abdominal aortic aneurysm may not cause obvious symptoms until it becomes more serious. If an aneurysm ruptures, it can cause severe internal bleeding and requires immediate emergency medical attention.

Knowing more about your vascular health can be an important part of proactive health awareness—especially when combined with other cardiovascular assessments.

A Bigger Picture of Your Cardiovascular Health

The aorta is just one component of your cardiovascular system. That's why Fact DNA offers AAA screening as part of our comprehensive Heart & Stroke Risk Screening, which evaluates multiple aspects of cardiovascular and vascular health.
