A member asked:
During an echo, where anatomically, is the aortic root dimension typically calculated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3 places: Aortic ring, sinus of Valsalva, and sinotubular junction. All 3 have different averages, and normals are different for age and size of patient.

Had echo done last year and dr said in one of the films it showed a slight moderate aortic regurgitation-not during the entire echo. Worried or not?
