  Also pay attention to early symptoms of inadequate blood flow, such as chest pain (angina), leg pain or numbness. Early diagnosis and treatment can stop atherosclerosis from worsening and prevent a heart attack, stroke or another medical emergency. [mayoclinic.org]

  However, as aneurysms grow, symptoms may include: Pulsating enlargement or tender mass felt by a physician when performing a physical examination Pain in the back, abdomen, or groin that may be prolonged and not relieved with position change or pain medication [my.clevelandclinic.org]

  This approach, also in diagnostics and pharmacology, is particularly important when applied to implement a model for effective prevention able to detect the presence of vascular damage at the sub-clinical, asymptomatic stage preceding of decades the onset [wikiecho.org]

  However, human clinical trials have been slow to provide clinical & medical evidence, partly because the asymptomatic nature of atheromata make them especially difficult to study. [en.wikipedia.org]

  A ruptured aneurysm usually produces sudden, severe pain and other symptoms such as loss of consciousness or shock, depending on the location of the aneurysm and the amount of bleeding. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

  The patient with a ruptured aortic aneurysm exhibits severe pain and blood loss, leading to shock. A ruptured cerebral aneurysm produces neurologic symptoms and can resemble the clinical picture of stroke syndrome. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

  If the arteries supplying the legs are affected (see Peripheral Vascular Disease ), the person may have severe pain in the legs. [emedicinehealth.com]

• Chest Pain

  For example: If you have atherosclerosis in your heart arteries, you may have symptoms, such as chest pain or pressure (angina). [mayoclinic.org]

  Beta blocker medications can reduce your blood pressure and heart rate and diminish chest pains, the risk of heart attack and irregular heart rhythm. [baptisthealth.com]

  This may lead to angina (chest pain on exertion), arrhythmias (abnormal heart rates or rhythms) etc. [scitechnol.com]

  This can precipitate various conditions, including: Coronary heart disease (plaque in arteries in or leading to the heart) Angina (chest pain from reduced blood flow to the heart muscle) Carotid artery disease (plaque in neck arteries supplying blood [heart.org]

  CAD develops over a long period of time and eventually progresses to the point where you may feel symptoms such as chest pain. Diagnosis is made using various tests such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) or a stress test. [ottawaheart.ca]

• Back Pain

  The larger an aneurysm grows, the more likely it will burst or rupture, causing intense abdominal or back pain, dizziness, nausea or shortness of breath. [radiologyinfo.org]

  Aneurysms usually are discovered before they produce symptoms, such as back pain, but like the weakened hose, they may rupture if they become too large. [my.clevelandclinic.org]

  We think about whiplash as a non-serious condition resulting in neck and back pain that goes away over the course of a few days/weeks. [mountsinai.org]

• Stroke

  Stroke and atherosclerosis There are two types of ischemic stroke caused by blood clots, narrowing of blood vessels to the brain caused by atherosclerosis or other particles. Atherothrombotic stroke is the most common. [strokeassociation.org]

  Because of the anticipated small number of strokes in this cohort, a combined end point for TIAs and strokes was used; however, because TIA is a well-recognized significant risk factor for stroke, these data provide valuable information about the predictive [onlinejacc.org]

  They could also lower your risk of heart attack and stroke. [webmd.com]

  Most strokes are ischaemic; there is evidence that treatment of stroke with clot busting drugs improves the chances for recovery, provided such treatment is given very early (within 3 hours) of the onset. [netdoctor.co.uk]
