I am confuse about my reading. I found out about my ascending aorta in 2019 from echo with my ascending at 3,7 then after that i had a cta which had my ascending aorta at 3.3 with no aneurysms. So after that I had repeating echo ,in 2022 my ascending was 3.8 he said everything was good no dissection. So lately I just had a CTA 2024 and my ascending aorta was 3.2 unremarkable and my descending was 2.6 unremarkable and the impression said thoracic aorta unremarkable. I am confuse about these reading when one doctors says you have aneurysms and the other one says you don't you just in upper limit. This is so stressful to me

I have the same problem were the measurements are all over the table . Diagnosed in 2011 at 4.5 and readings have been 4.6,4.7,4.5,4.6 now 4.9. Who do you rely on? I am going back to Mayo and consult them after they initially diagnosed it

Agree it’s confusing in 2022 had an echo it said ascending aorta 3.7 mildly dilated cat scan in 2023/said 3.6 within normal range for my age at the time 73. Echo 2024 3.6 again cardiologist said within normal limits 74 at the time. I’m scheduled for yearly echo follow up in 2025. Praying it just stays the same.
