Ascending thoracic aneurysm: What should I do and not do?

I believe one of these tests is measured on the diagonal and the other is measured straight across so the numbers will be different. Good luck with the stress test. It sounds like your cardio is taking diagnostic testing seriously. Good luck. I hope it is determined that your aneurysm is stable.

Yeh I am 57 and they found BAV with a bonus, 4.8cm ascending aortic aneurysm 9 months ago. First echocardio measured 5 then CT measured 4.8, 2 months later just this February, CT was at 4.95. I have not clue which is correct. No one has taken the time to meet me and explain how they measure. Next to impossible to get support here from cardiologist. to busy I guess. I live in Canada. So answers, I need to guess and research myself and read things here in the discussion. Honestly, I would have rather not known about this TAA. Its hard going from great shape, working out eating well etc.... to lets be careful. Anyway it is what it is. I wish everybody all the best. Stay strong.
