A member asked:

Ascending aorta size:01/17echo 3.8cm;05/17 ct(calcium scoring 0)4.0cm;11/17 mri/mra 3.3 x3.5 cm.which of the above 3 measurements is most accurate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mri/mra: would go by mri/mra finding. if there was no significant aortic insuficiency or aortic valvular heart disease on the echo. would just repeat the echo in 1-2 years to see if ascending aorta increases in size.
