My family member 4.0 in 2020.. 4.3 in 2023.. remember each person will be different pending on whether they drink, smoke or lift heavy things etc. Best to get a baseline and have it checked every 6 or 12 months. I was just diagnosed 4.2.. will go for a 6 month check up...for cardiac mri April 2024. I have been adjusting my activities and trying to learn as much as possible of what I should and should not be doing. Best to you!!!

Thank you for responding. I appreciate it. Since I just got diagnosed with 4.5CM aneurysm and with bicuspid valve…wasn’t sure as if I have 1 year or 10 years before surgery must be done.
Good luck to us all.

Glad I have found this group. Mine was also found while following afib cryoablation and low left ventricle ejection fraction with echocardiogram and zio patch every 6 months. April 2023 ascending aorta was 3.1 cm, October echo and follow up ct scan was 3.8 cm. My research and Doctors tell me that is small but I worry about the quick enlargement. Next echo is to be done in March. In the mean time I trying to stay calm and looking for future options in California. I appreciate the information I'm getting from you all!
