I was diagnosed with a 3cm Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, which is small however, I am only 49 and do have an extensive family history on my maternal and paternal sides of aortic aneurysms.
Should I request a Cardiac work up? Or should I see a cardiac doctor? I am not sure the next steps.
Not the lottery I was hoping to win! Apparently, this is very rare for my age.

I’m just curious since you mentioned that you have a family history of aneurysms if you’ve been tested for Loeys-Dietz syndrome? My husband found out quite by accident that a person in his family had Loeys-Dietz and after many other family members were genetically tested many had this genetic mutation. Might be something that you may want to look into along with any siblings or your children or family members children may have the condition. Good luck to you.
