Can you still golf with an Ascending Aortic root aneurysm?
I've been an avid golfer for the last 40yrs. But recently was diagnosed with a 4.5 Asending aortic root aneurysm. I have played as yet this year. But I'm itching to get out there. Does anyone know if golfing is allowed with this condition? Thanks!!

My doc said golf is ok, actually encouraged me to go because walking is great exercise. I am 70 with a 5.0 cm aorta measured every 6 months. No growth in 3 years.

2 ReactionsI’m 65. My aneurysm at the root is 4.8cm and I golf weekly with no concerns. The METS chart I saw showed it to be just fine.

Good luck, God bless
