主 题：aortic diagnosis drugs treatment
摘 要：Aortic aneurysm is a chronic aortic disease affected by many factors.Although it is generally asymptomatic,it poses a significant threat to human life due to a high risk of rupture.Because of its strong concealment,it is difficult to diagnose the disease in the early stage.At present,there are no effective drugs for the treatment of aneurysms.Surgical intervention and endovascular treatment are the only therapies.Although current studies have discovered that inflammatory responses as well as the production and activation of various proteases promote aortic aneurysm,the specific mechanisms remain unclear.Researchers are further exploring the pathogenesis of aneurysms to find new targets for diagnosis and treatment.To better understand aortic aneurysm,this review elaborates on the discovery history of aortic aneurysm,main classification and clinical manifestations,related molecular mechanisms,clinical cohort studies and animal models,with the ultimate goal of providing insights into the treatment of this devastating disease.The underlying problem with aneurysm disease is weakening of the aortic wall,leading to progressive dilation.If not treated in time,the aortic aneurysm eventually ruptures.An aortic aneurysm is a local enlargement of an artery caused by a weakening of the aortic wall.The disease is usually asymptomatic but leads to high mortality due to the risk of artery rupture.
