A member asked:

Is the chamber size of the left ventricle supposed to be bigger or smaller that the aortic root diameter? i am just trying to make sense of my echo results.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Talk with your doc: there are many things that influence the size and contraction of the left ventricle and size of the aortic root. You will need to discuss your echo with a qualified physician to get the best answers. It is not really something you can do yourself
