@wanneram I had a period of time where there was a slight difference between CT scan and thoracic echocardiogram, but the difference was minimal.. I have a sinus of the valsalva aneurysm and bicuspid aortic valve. Last thoracic echocardiogram showed 4.5 mm.

@tomcgauley

Thanks for your reply.

I don't dare get my hopes up until the CT scan, that initial diagnosis of 47 mm has had a major impact on me.

I am hardened by all kinds of severe setbacks in my life, but not when it comes to my health.

How much longer do you have to wait before you qualify for surgery? I assume that because of that bicuspid aortic valve, they aren't going to wait until 55 mm?
