Overview
Smoking cessation and blood pressure management are two strategies to reverse modifiable risk factors for the development, progression, and rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Preventive Measures
To reduce the risk of developing aneurysms:
- Eat a heart-healthy diet, exercise, stop smoking (if you smoke), and reduce stress to help lower your chances of having a blocked artery again.
- Take medications to help lower your cholesterol.
- Take medications for blood pressure or diabetes control.
- People over age 65 who have smoked at any time in their life should have a screening ultrasound performed once.
