A member asked:
Last year my aortic root diameter was 2.6 cm this year it is 3.1 cm's. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aortic root: Aortic root diameters are both normal and likely changed only because of different beam angle. If you have a reason why the root might enlarge this change might need more attention.
