Curious, what does height and weight have to do with your husband's ascending aortic aneurysm? What does the doctor say?

Back in 2006, nothing was mentioned except the CT report said that there was not an issue cause of his height and weight. His aneurysm measured 4.6 at that time. The growth has been very slow; his aneurysm now measures 5.0-5.1.
There is literature about these aneurysm measurements and body surface area.
We have sort of “moved on” and just become “engaged again” when we make our annual Mayo trip. I will see if I can find the references and send them on.

Google aortic size index. It is used to assess risk of rupture.
