My cardiologist told me only baby aspirin. Nothing too heavy duty.

I'm at 3.5-3.8 and my Dr. has prescribed eliquis, irbesartan, and nebivolol. Was on baby aspirin after cryoablation for afib before ascending aorta was discovered.

Hi @shabiii, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

As members @jlbpainting and @wyomingmiller208 pointed out, they were instructed on what to do by their cardiologist. After you were diagnosed, did your provider instruct you on what your next steps would be or possible prescriptions would be?

Always circle back with your healthcare provider. They know what is best for you.

Hi @JustinMcClanahan
Thank you.Actually my provider asked me for a CT scan to make sure about the exact size.4.3 was diagnosed by Echocardiography and told me if after 6 month the size did not changed he will not prescribe any medicine.if changed then will talk about and make dicision
