Likely yes: The aortic root and ascending aorta are within normal limits. I presume the LVOT diameter is actually meant to be 1.9cm, and if so, is also appropriate.

Aorta: These numbers are only important to the physician who ordered them .At 82 I would suggest you ask him or her the importance of them
