You bet, @ewei6911

You mention the size of your aneurysm has decreased from 4.8 to 4.1cm since February. What concerns do you have?

I am glad to hear you plan to contact your cardiologist about your 1000+ coronary calcium score. Will you come back and let me know what you find out?

@jlharsh
My cardiologist is focused on the size of my aneurysm now. Before the March 25th CT scan that had 4.1 cm aneurysm size, there was an Echocardiogram that showed a 4.6 cm aneurysm, but my cardiologist said echos get only a partial view and a CT scan is more accurate. A CT scan done on Feb. 12th was 4.8 cm. So, the scan with a decrease to 4.1 cm in a short period of time has me confused and concerned because I thought I needed surgery last February and have now delayed it.
Next time I see my cardiologist, I will ask about what can be done about the Agatston score and let you know what he says.
