I am a 64 YO Female good physical condition exercise everyday nothing crazy light weights and cardio. My Ascending Aorta aneurysm was found on a CT calcium score back in Dec 2023 so it was found "incidentally" they remarked it as aneurysmal and measuring up to 4.1 cm Just had my follow-up CT on Saturday 6/8/24 the measurement is actually 4.2 cm so there is my baseline there were not other findings everything else was w/in normal range. Root, Arch and descending aortas all normal range. The overall findings on the report was Mild Dilation of the Ascending Aorta. I am seeing my Cardiologist today 6/14/24 to review the findings I suspect he'll just tell me to go back in 6 months check it again. I don't have any underlying issues like Marfan or Bicuspid Valve. I do have HPB but it's well controlled. I did have a bad fall last year and I fell on something so I am wondering if this was a result I will have to ask today. I also read that the older you are the wider your Ascending Aorta is. If the calculation I found was 31 + 0.16 * your age which would put me at 4.1 cm naturally

Where did you find that calculation? I've never seen such and have looked all over the web.

Thanks
