What Is an Aneurysm?
9. Diagnosis
The first steps of diagnosis will involve your doctor asking you about the history of related conditions in your family. They will also need to know about your own medical history, and they may want to perform a quick physical exam. You will likely need to be referred to a specialist who will be able to confirm the diagnosis.
Diagnosing aneurysms will typically involve using imaging techniques like X-Rays and CT scans to get a look at the cardiovascular system and other organs. These will help experts look for signs of an aneurysm, like bulges in the blood vessels, weak spots, and any blockages.
