First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether brothers, sisters, and children of people who have had an abdominal aortic aneurysm are more likely to develop one themselves. Researchers will analyze health records from nearly one million people in Sweden. The goal is to better understand how family history affects risk, which could lead to better screening for those at highest risk.
