How does the heart aorta widen? Does it have a big impact on health?

Aortic dilatation is not an independent disease. Ultrasonic examination results need to be combined with clinical practice. Aortic widening is usually secondary to hypertension, Takayasu's arteritis, bacterial infection and so on. If simple aortic dilatation is harmless, it depends on whether there is secondary valve regurgitation. The main causes of aortic widening are hypertension, hyperlipidemia, repeated bacterial infections and valvular heart disease, especially in the elderly, where blood metabolism is poor, there are many impurities in blood vessels, and oil, cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein increase, which will lead to aortic widening.

Aortic dilatation is not necessarily dangerous, because there are many reasons for aortic dilatation. It is very dangerous if aortic dilatation is caused by aortic dissection, aortic aneurysm or any aortic injury disease. Aortic rupture and bleeding may occur at any time, leading to life-threatening of patients. However, if it is caused by other diseases, such as long-term hypertension, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, etc., the risk is not particularly high.

Because aortic widening is not an independent disease, it is often accompanied by other diseases, such as aortic widening caused by long-term hypertension, mainly because long-term blood pressure is relatively high. At this time, the heart will deform, the heart will enlarge, and the heart will pump blood harder to the aorta. When the blood flow has a great influence, the aorta will be widened. In this case, the risk is not great, unless the long-term control of hypertension leads to more dangerous aortic dissection. ?

Arteriosclerosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and other reasons lead to arteriosclerosis. At this time, the aorta will deform and widen. This aortic widening is not particularly dangerous, but it also requires some complications, such as aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection. In this case, something dangerous will happen. When aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection occur, the degree of dilatation is more serious and the condition is very serious. Life is possible at any time, so surgery is needed.
