After my initial diagnosis in March 2026 , my MRA showed 47 mm. One month later, I had two echocardiograms performed by two different cardiologists at two different locations and on different dates. Both completely overlooked my aneurysm and stated that the ascending aorta was only 40 mm and, given my BSA (2.47), was completely normal, and that I didn’t need to make any lifestyle changes. For a few hours, I felt 1,000 kg lighter and so relieved.
Fortunately, my instinct told me not to take that seriously, and that turned out to be correct because in July, the CTA showed 49.3 mm… That 40 mm ultrasound taken at the hospital was actually removed from my medical record…
