Just read the results of the recent CT and my aneurysm is not at 4.1 , from the previous 4.4 ??? Makes me wonder ??? So what is the measurement ???? That’s quite the difference?
When I go to Mayo Clinic Jacksonville for the CT with contrast and echocardiograms etc., I have the results within a few hours.

Hello fellow Maritimer. I grew up in NB and am familiar with the NB Heart Center. I now live on PEI. I recently had an echo that showed dilation of aortic root and ascending artery of 3.4 and 3.2 respectively. I know those aren't large numbers but it is certainly concerning as I was completely surprised to see these results. It is recommended that I have another echo in three years. I started looking at information online and came across this platform. It has been helpful to read posts and see there is a common theme in relation to concerns and anxieties.
