@jefftalley i just signed up... partly b/c of ur post... i also am a 65 yr old male athlete w a 4.6 cm dilated ascending aortic aneurysm ... i recently found out on my own recognizant,,, asymptomatic, but just decided i wanted to finally see a cardiologist (nvr been) just in case my interval training HR max of 175bpm was mayb doin me more harm than good...
and sure enuf, i have an aneurysm... which after following up with a visit to a top shelf nyc AA surgeon, we will do anthr Echo in 6 mths to monitor...
but what now?... competitive tennis and hockey are my goto sports--- maybe i should concentrate on a new direction now?... Golf (but it can be an aggravating sport no doubt)
