A member asked:
My ct scan showed slightly prominent at 3.7 cm in my ascending aortic valve doctor tells me it's of no concern but i'm nervous should i be concerned?

Borderline: 3.7 is at the upper limits of normal depending on size. Probably does not need repeat unless there is a family history, high blood pressure or history of smoking.
