Christine Angelica Dacera, 23, was a flight attendant with Philippine Airlines. The 23-year-old Christine was announced dead on arrival at a hospital after a New Year’s Eve party.
Days later, situations surrounding her death remain unresolved. The first investigation said it was rape slay with the murder of homicide but...
PNP declared that Dacera died of a “ruptured aortic aneurysm” or the tearing of the aorta – the hugest blood vessel in the body that operates through a person’s heart.
So until now, a ruptured aortic aneurysm is unsure.
What is an aneurysm?
An aneurysm causes an artery to spread or blow up abnormally, due to a defect in the blood vessel wall. Blood spills in the area around the blood vessel are harmful because they can split. In the aorta, a blood vessel in the brain, or a peripheral blood vessel, this disease may occur.
In any artery in the body, an aneurysm can occur, but typically in the aorta, the biggest artery in the body that leads from the heart to the body. Aortic aneurysms are most often located in the abdominal cavity, but can also occur in the thoracic cavity where thoracic aortic aneurysms are recognized. Most frequently, aortic aneurysms occur in males, men, older than 60 years of age, having elevated blood pressure, atherosclerosis, or aneurysm family history. The occurrence of aortic aneurysms is also a recognized risk factor for cigarette smoking.
Peripheral artery aneurysms vastly generally arise in the popliteal artery (behind the knees), the mesenteric artery (intestine), femoral artery (groin), and splenic artery (spleen).
An aneurysm's signs and symptoms depend on where it is located. The path of the disease varies between people. Some individuals with an aneurysm do not have any symptoms, but when aneurysm breakage happens, internal bleeding can cause discomfort, low blood pressure, fast pulse, and exposure.
When a nervous aneurysm explodes into the skull (intracranial aneurysms), people report their "worst headache" and then immediately decline the alertness, mental capacity, and other neurological functions. When an aneurysm occurs close to the skin surface, pain is often felt and swelled with a pulsation mass.
Thankfully, aneurysms can successfully be managed with a variety of options including improvements in diet, treatment of high blood pressure, or procedure. An aneurysm may break up untreated. Breakdown of the artery can lead to life threats. If anyone with you has signs of a rupture in aneurysms, such as extreme back pain, sudden severe headaches, fast heartbeats, trouble swallowing, bleeding vision, cold skin, or loss of consciousness, search for urgent medical attention.
Over several years, aneurysms will slowly evolve. Many people have no symptoms, while others may have a range of intensive symptoms, depending on the location, growth rate, and aneurysm size.
What causes an aneurysm?
Weakness in the cerebral or vein wall, aortic artery, or peripheral artery induces aneurysms. The disorder can occur due to birth defects caused by conditions such as vascular hypertension and atherosclerosis or by the previous aneurysm trauma. The risk of some forms of the aneurysm can be raised by higher blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, and cigarette smoking. High blood pressure and smoking are believed to help develop aortic abdominal aneurysms. Some aneurysms can also lead to atherosclerotic disease. The formation and breakdown of aneurysms are also associated with pregnancy.
Inherited disorders affecting the body's conjunctive tissues, including Marfan's syndrome, often raise the likelihood of developing certain aneurysms.
Aneurysm recovery continues with the health care provider looking for medical attention. Your health care provider will ask you to take multiple screening tests to decide whether you have an aneurysm.
Aneurysm care will rely on aneurysm size, location, and form. An expanding or expanding aorta aneurysm also requires emergency medication, and surgery is usually advised. What type of procedure and when needed depends on the symptoms, aneurysm's size, and type. In certain cases, endovascular stent repair is possible. A stent is a narrow tube in a blood vessel that holds the vessel open or reinforces the wall.
A doctor or a health care provider may closely track some forms of aneurysms that are small or not life-threatening. Such findings need to be constantly tracked and checked. Ultrasound imagery is used to track the aneurysm's potential progress. Whether surgery takes place requires the possibility of chirurgical complications to be balanced against risk complications from the aneurysm itself.
Common therapies of aneurysm include:
Blood pressure supervision
Restraint of danger factors
Compliance and surveying
Surgical rehabilitation of the aneurysm
By implementing the treatment plan you and your health care providers specifically for you will help to minimize the risk of severe complications.
