Aneurysms were 67 prevalent among the cases of heart ailments. Individuals who had problems with blood pressure, blood vessels and age-related weakness, were more prone to an aneurysm.Three cases were reported at the GKNM Hospital out of a total 100 operative cases every month, Muralidharan pointed out.
