Kim Kardashian says she was diagnosed with an aneurysm in a preview clip from the newest season of The Kardashians. The brief scene, shown during the season 7 premiere, cuts straight to the point: “There’s, like, a little aneurysm,” she says. Khloe’s quiet “Woah” follows.
Scans and stress
The clip then shows what looks like a brain scan and Kim inside an MRI machine. In a voiceover she frames the problem as linked to stress, saying, “They’re, like, just stress.” That leaves a lot unsaid. How big is the aneurysm? Is it being monitored or treated? We don’t know yet, and the show only teases more to come.
What an aneurysm means
Simply put, an aneurysm is a bulge in an artery wall. If it grows and ruptures, the consequences can be serious — bleeding, stroke, even death. Imaging tests are used to diagnose these, and doctors decide on treatment or watchful waiting based on size, location, symptoms, and whether it’s changing.
Stress and heart health are connected but complicated. Chronic stress can raise hormones and blood pressure, which in turn can increase cardiovascular risk. That doesn’t prove stress causes aneurysms, but it’s part of the broader picture.
The human angle
Kim talks about family in the clip, touching on the four children she shares with her ex, Ye. That personal thread makes the medical news feel immediate, not just clinical.
