Aorta: CT and Echo do not always get same measurement. CT better. Why are you getting aortic eval in first place. Rare in women your age unless you have + family history, smoke and have had untreated high blood pressure or have Marfan's. Happy to consult to get more information. I WOULD worry about your BMI and work on that.
