I was just diagnosed with an ascending aortic aneurysm. I have none of the risk factors, and was diagnosed accidentally while looking for coronary artery disease, which I do NOT have. The only risk factors I have are three genetic defects. Also, this was discovered after orders from my primary physician's intern. I go to a teaching clinic, and it was the sharp mind of an intern that sent me in for the CT angio scan. The regular doctor just figured my symptoms were from being overweight or anxious, and ordered a heart monitor to "rule out" my tachycardia. This would NOT have detected an ascending aortic aneurysm as well as a CT angio. Thank heaven for that intern! Thanks for the info.

Something about the narrator's calm, deadpan voice explaining why aneurysms aren't the best thing to have happen inside of us keeps me laughing
