How can I access those guidelines? And are they evidence-based? Hard to find online studies that inform exercise intensity decisions. Looking for better advice than the “don’t overdo it” and “moderate” I get from my cardiologist. Thanks!

There are none that I'm aware of. I was agreeing with the previous post before mind stating it would be nice if Mayo would publish some guide lines.

I agree- I'm guessing that if we asked a group of doctors to define "moderate" we would get several different answers. I realize that there is no definitive answer- but I'd rather not rely on guesswork or Dr google for this question. By the way- my doctor said NO restrictions and I have a 4.3 dilation in ascending aorta and a 4.5 dilation in my aortic root.
