My doc wrote in echo report that aortic root ascending and arch were fine but now i find out that u generally don't c it on echo so how come he did?

Anxiety: you really seem to have severe anxiety regarding your aorta. I hope you consider getting help with that anxiety. If the doc reported the arch he presumably saw it on the study.

What does an echo aortic root measure from? my report says "sinus of valsalva" is 4.1 but ascending aorta is normal. I'm 6 foot 2, 300 pounds. it's classified as moderately dilated? wouldn't I have a larger root because of my body size?
Echo report back, normal with exception of 4.1cm aortic root at sinus of valsalva. I had an MRI 4 years ago which was normal and echo 2 years ago was normal, but echo 8 years ago showed 3.9cm which was "normal"? I'm 6 foot 2 and 300 pounds male?
Can u see all of the thoracic aorta with echocardiogram or just the root, ascendens and arch? if u ask the doc if ha can look at all of the aorta?
