@shayne1970 I recommend finding a good thoracic surgeon if you are worried and think you may eventually need to have it repaired. I had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm that was 7.9 and a 6.0 ascending that were both repaired in 2024 (6 months apart - 2 different operations). I’m also living with a third one that is 4.5 (I sometimes forget I still have one). I rarely speak to my cardiologist. My yearly CT scan is with my Thoracic Surgeon who did the operations. I’m 53, never smoke and played sports my whole life. No genetic link either. All the best!

@tripleaaa Thankyou for your information. Some of the stories on here inspire me. Living with a medical condition should not prevent living.

My wife is a ACLS/PALS certified nurse with background in ICU and now in PACU. She is at a major hospital and is familiar with many cardiologists so I will be well taken care of. I have some adjustments to make with the stress in my life. Work smarter not harder is now my new motto.

My MRI is in 6 months and will contribute to the group as much as I can in the meantime.
