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.

What I have learned from the cardiologists is that they follow patients with ECHO's to prevent too much radiation by performing CT's or MRI's. But the final readings and more precise are from an MRI with contrast. The ECHO depends on the angle at which is being read and is not precise
