You're good. You know about it and you're under a doctor's care. The 6 month CT surveillance scans are super helpful because they will tell them when surgery is necessary. I had emergency open heart surgery to repair a burst aorta in 2015. I'm here by luck. You're going to be here for a long time to come. Keep your blood pressure down, watch your weight, no heavy lifting, no valsalva maneuvers, no planking. You'll be fine. I lowered my blood pressure by cutting the sugar completely. Lost weight, clearer skin, calmer, A1C of 5.7--down from 9.2. Peace.
