A member asked:
Echo report back, normal with exception of 4.1cm aortic root at sinus of valsalva. i had an mri 4 years ago which was normal and echo 2 years ago was normal, but echo 8 years ago showed 3.9cm which was "normal"? i'm 6 foot 2 and 300 pounds male?

Body surface area has a lot to do with determining normal limits of aortic root diameter. If you don't have aortic valve disease, your reading of 4.1 cm is probably not an early aortic root aneurysm but is within normal limits or borderline for your body surface area. A thoracic surgeon could evaluate and advise you best.
