Aneurysm

Spot the silent bulge — prevent Aneurysm rupture before it strikes.

What is an aneurysm & its health risks?

Not all aneurysms burst — but many do without warning.

Aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in the wall of an artery, which makes it weak. Aneurysms are dangerous because they may rupture — leading to life-threatening bleeding or stroke.
