A member asked:
Does elevation have a negative effect or pose a risk to my aseceding aorta. flying to keystone co for spring break to go skiing for spring break. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you have: something concerning about your aorta, you are certainly at much more risk for harm from skiing than you are from either flying or elevation. If this is a medical problem and you have a professional advising you about it then you need to talk to that person since he/she will have all of your health history to be able to advise you effectively.
