The drugs Acetazolamide and Iodine have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include thoracic aorta, smooth muscle and heart, and related phenotypes are cutis marmorata and mucoid extracellular matrix accumulation

Major Symptoms of Familial Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm

Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm is a rare condition that primarily affects the aortic arch, which is the area just distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery. The major symptoms include coughing, chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting. These symptoms may be similar to those of other conditions and require a thorough evaluation to determine the exact cause.

Suitable Lifestyle for People with Familial Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm

Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm (FTA) is an inherited vascular disease that often leads to pulmonary hypertension and heart failure. People with FTA should adopt the following lifestyle:

1. Healthy diet: Try to avoid high-fat, high-cholesterol and high-salt foods, including meat, poultry, fish, vegetables and fruits, etc.

2. Moderate exercise: Aerobic exercise can enhance cardiopulmonary function, reduce pulmonary hypertension and improve heart health. It is recommended to do moderate exercise every day, such as walking, jogging, swimming, etc.

3. Don’t smoke: Tobacco increases the risk of FTA, and smoking can worsen symptoms.

4. Control weight: Obesity increases the risk of FTA, so a healthy weight should be maintained.

5. Medication: If recommended by your doctor, you may need to take medications, such as ACEI, ARB, diuretics, etc. , to control symptoms and prevent complications.

6. Regular examinations: Receive regular examinations and evaluations from doctors to ensure that diseases are treated in a timely manner and follow the doctor's treatment recommendations.

7. Avoid infections: Patients with FTA are more susceptible to infections, especially bacterial and fungal infections, and should avoid infections as much as possible. People with FTA should pay attention to the development of lifestyle and healthy habits, actively take measures to prevent complications and follow the doctor's treatment recommendations.
