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!

Yes, ECO and CT seems to show different results for the size of Aorta. My CT showed 4.5cm where eco showed 4.2cm.
My cardiologist suggest that CT is the gold standard for this measurement.
Your seems low and may not even called aneurysm but more like dilated.
