Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Diagnosis & Tests
Your health care provider may listen to your abdomen with a stethoscope (auscultation). If you have an abdominal aortic aneurysm, there will be a "blowing" murmur over the aorta or a "whooshing" sound (bruit).
The health care provider will also perform a physical examination of your abdomen. If a rupture is suspected, he or she may also conduct an examination for signs of blood loss (hypovolemia) and an evaluation of lower extremity pulses and circulation.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm may be diagnosed with these tests:
A CBC may indicate loss of blood.
