Abstract

Aortic aneurysm is potentially a lethal clinical condition unless it was diagnosed and managed earlier. It is associated with increased risk for sudden death among young subjects in competitive sports. So a complete medical evaluation is recommended especially for official athletes. However certain military personnel in Army are absolutely exposed to strenuous physical conditions and strengthening exercises as well as or harder than the athletes do.We presented three patients; one with giant aortic aneurysm at level of Valsalva sinus of aorta and two with aortic aneurysm at ascending aorta. First patient underwent surgical treatment whereas other two patients were followed medically. Isometric type of exercise and training activities were probably the main triggering factor for initiation and progression of aortic aneurysm in those subjects. Echocardiography is widely available and is the choice of method in preparticipation screening of certain military forces and diagnosing of aortic aneurysm. Also routine cardiac examination of military personnel in Army at a few years' periods may allow detection of those patients

Özet

Aort anevrizması erken tanı konulmadığı ve yönlendirilmediği takdirde ölüm potansiyeli olan bir klinik durumdur. Yarışmalı sporlarda gençlerde ani ölüm riski artışı ile birliktedir. Dolayısıyla özellikle profesyonel atletlerde kapsamlı bir tıbbi değerlendirme önerilmektedir. Ancak bazı askeri personel en az profesyonel atletler kadar veya daha ağır fiziki şartlara ve güç gerektiren eğitimlere maruz kalmaktadırlar.Burada aortanın sinüs valsalva düzeyinde dev anevrizması olan bir ve asendan aort anevrizması olan iki vakayı sunduk. İlk hasta cerrahi olarak tedavi edilirken diğer iki vaka tıbbi olarak takip edildi. İzometrik egzersiz ve eğitim faaliyetleri bu bireylerde aort anevrizmalarının başlaması ve ilerlemesi için tetikleyici bir faktör olabilir.Ekokardiyografi oldukça yaygındır ve aort anevrizmasının tespitinde ve belirli askeri birliklere katılış taramalarında kullanılabilecek seçkin bir testtir. Ayrıca askeri personele birkaç yıllık peryotlarda düzenli kardiyak muayene yapılması bu hastaların tespit edilmesine imkan sağlar.
