Aorta - Echocardiogram

2023-05-04 09:10:24
One year back my Echocardiogram showed Dilation of Aortic Root and Ascending Aorta 4.6 cms and asked to do Echo after one year to review the dilatations. Now after one year I did an Echo from a different doctor, who just gave a report that Aortic Root dilated. Mild PAH He says ascending aorta diameter can only be seen in CT scan. and dilatation of Ascending Aorta 46mm is age related. Not a major issue. Is this true? Kindly advice .
