A member asked:
I have blood pressure increase and aorta dilation, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dilated aorta: Consult your physician regarding this problem. When the aorta is dilated we usually try to keep the blood pressure(pulse pressure)down to decrease wall stress. You should discuss your condition with your Dr.
