A hiatal hernia or hiatus hernia [2] is a type of hernia in which abdominal organs (typically the stomach) slip through the diaphragm into the middle compartment of the chest. [1] [3] This may result in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) with symptoms such as a taste of acid in the back of the mouth or heartburn.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized enlargement of the abdominal aorta such that the diameter is greater than 3 cm or more than 50% larger than normal. [1] An AAA usually causes no symptoms, except during rupture. [ 1 ]
An aortic aneurysm is an enlargement (dilatation) of the aorta to greater than 1.5 times normal size. [1] Typically, there are no symptoms except when the aneurysm dissects or ruptures, which causes sudden, severe pain in the abdomen and lower back. [2] [3] The etiology remains an area of active research.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms are commonly divided according to their size and symptomatology. An aneurysm is usually defined as an outer aortic diameter over 3 cm (normal diameter of the aorta is around 2 cm), [17] or more than 50% of normal diameter that of a healthy individual of the same sex and age.
The researchers looked at several cardiovascular health outcomes among participants: stroke, heart attack, heart failure, aortic stenosis, atrial fibrillation, and abdominal aortic aneurysm.
If an aortic aneurysm is suspected, medical history will be considered along with a physical examination. Further tests to locate the aneurysm may be required. [citation needed] When an aneurysm is suspected or diagnosed, it is important to: [4] Pinpoint the location of the aneurysm. Estimate its size. Find out how fast it is growing.
Thoracic aortic aneurysm: Diameter: > 4.5 cm (US) [30] > 4.0 cm (Korea) [32] Testis: Enlargement: 5 cm x 3 cm (short axis) [33] Tonsil: Enlarged tonsil: 2.5 cm in length, 2.0 cm in width and 1.2 cm in thickness. [34] Ureter: Megaureter: 6 [35] or 7 [36] mm Urinary bladder: Wall thickening: 3–5 mm thick, and < 3 mm when well distended. [37]
