A member asked:

What does it mean if you have a nonaneurysmal aorta?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. James Chapman answered

Specializes in Cardiology

Not enlarged: An aneurysm is an abnormal dilatation or enlargement of your aorta. Yours is not, however, the fact that they described it in this way instad of "normal" makes me winder if they are seeing something, like plaque or calcification. Ask for more detail of the report.
