Can you still golf with an Ascending Aortic root aneurysm?

Posted by Brownsman @benjones, May 11, 2024

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!!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Aortic Aneurysms Support Group.

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.

I’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.

Imo , I think you need to check with your vascular people or cardiothoracic.

Good luck, God bless
