A member asked:
Does regular exercise (cardio, light weights around 40lbs or less, no deadlifting) help aortic root dilation? my asc & root is 3.8, 270lb male, 6ft 2.

Aortic root: Exercise pretty much helps everything. Reasonable exercise helps you to maintain normal blood pressure and it will reduce your resting pulse rate. Any aortic problem is helped by this.
