A thoracic aortic aneurysm occurs when a portion of the aorta, the body’s largest artery, bulges or enlarges. It often has no symptoms until it becomes life-threatening.

Risk factors include:
🔹 High blood pressure
🔹 Hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis)
🔹 Smoking
🔹 Connective tissue disorders
🔹 Family history

If an aneurysm dissects, it can cause sudden, severe chest or back pain and requires emergency surgery. Early detection through routine imaging is key to preventing complications.

Pericardial effusion is a buildup of fluid around the heart that can reduce its ability to pump properly. If the pressure becomes too high, it may lead to cardiac tamponade—a life-threatening emergency. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, and low blood pressure. In serious cases, a pericardial window procedure may be needed to drain the fluid and relieve pressure.

The mitral valve controls blood flow between the heart and lungs. When it becomes too tight or leaky, it can lead to shortness of breath, fatigue, chest discomfort, and irregular heartbeat. Over time, this can contribute to heart failure or atrial fibrillation (AFib).

Early detection and treatment, including medication or surgery, can help restore heart function and improve quality of life. If you’re experiencing symptoms, talk to your doctor about evaluation and treatment options.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries, reducing blood flow to the heart. This can lead to serious complications like chest pain, shortness of breath, and heart attacks.

Risk factors include:
✔️ High blood pressure
✔️ High cholesterol
✔️ Diabetes
✔️ Smoking
✔️ Family history of heart disease

Early detection and heart-healthy lifestyle changes can help prevent serious complications.

An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a congenital heart condition that may go unnoticed for years, with symptoms like fatigue, irregular heartbeat, and dizziness often appearing by age 40. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications such as pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, or stroke. Early detection is essential.

When the aortic valve becomes too tight (stenosis) or leaky (regurgitation), it can cause serious symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, and even heart failure. If left untreated, severe aortic stenosis carries a 50% risk of death within two years.
