Would the Blood Pressure rise or fall if a patient suffers an aortic aneurism?

Answer 1

Depends on age of patient, and the pathology invoved, it can be both, incresed or decreased.

Answer 2

Well usually to get an aortic aneurism the person will have a history of hypertension (High blood pressure) However if the aneurism ruptures the blood pressure would drop VERY rapidly and the person will die quite quickly.

Answer 3

Usually an aneurysm caused by hypertension because it weakens the vessels. This would mean that the patient was likely to have had high blood pressure. Of course, once the aneurysm ruptures the patient will be losing blood and blood pressure with fall dramatically.

Answer 4

aortic aneurysm is usually associated with high BP.the increased stress on the arterial wall along with a host of other factors is the root cause(the most common cause is atherosclerosis)
if however an aneurysm happen to rupture,the results are catastrophic.the patient would go into shock very soon(BP will drop rapidly)

Answer 5

I don't know that there is a SET answer to this. It is a ballooning of an artery and there may be high blood pressure that causes the artery to balloon in the first place.

If the aneurysm broke and the artery started to bleed out, then the blood pressure WOULD drop, leading to passing out, and probably death.

Answer 6

Do you mean a rupture of the aortic aneurysm?It would drop

Answer 7

I'm just a nurse but if memory serves me right it would fall due to blood loss if it ruptures. If it hasn't ruptured I don't believe you can tell by vital signs, but it can be detected by other means such as ultrasound, MRI, and CT

Answer 8

if a blood vessel burst wouldnt bp decrease
