Here's one thing that got me upset
The cardio nurse went over stress test and echo scan
So were kinda going great its only 4.3
Big wrong I called cardio surgery nurse , No its 5.0
so I was in a good mood for a day , Then back to damn its 5.0 not 4.3
so you can't trust echo scans

I agree. I had CT Angiogram Coronary with contrast for screening as first test where they detected 4.5cm ascending Aortic Aneurysm. Then they did ECO Cardiogram to check for Bicuspid valve and that show 4.2CM but my Cardiologist say, CT is the gold standard and accurate.
They can’t find conclusive that if I have bicuspid valve so they also did TEE procedure and confirmed that I do have bicuspid valve and that diameter for Aorta is 4.5cm.
