A member asked:
I was wondering what are the chances of an aortic root to dilate quickly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aortic root: A normally composed aortic root is not usually going to dilate quickly in response to normal blood pressure or slightly high pressure. Abnormalities in the structure of the aorta can predispose to dilation in some people.
