I answered one of your questions yesterday with a link to a figure of the ascending aorta and normal sizes at each location. Please note that the images of MRI and echocardiogram were interpreted by different radiologists and cardiologists and they can make error. Your aortic root at sinus valsava of 4.1 cm is still in normal range & cardiologist read it correctly last year but not this year.
