The finding of a “calcified plaque in the aorta” is a common, age-related change seen in many elderly individuals, especially above the age of 70.
At this stage, it does not necessarily indicate a serious blockage or aneurysm, especially if it’s noted incidentally and not mentioned in the “Impression” section of the report.
However, for a more accurate assessment (whether it’s mild, moderate, or severe), and to rule out any vascular risk, it would be best to consult a cardiothoracic or vascular surgeon, who may advise a Doppler ultrasound or CT angiography if needed.
Please don’t worry — these are usually slow-progressing changes and manageable with regular monitoring, lifestyle modifications, and medical care.
