Follow up at Cardiologist today. My Aorta is slightly enlarged.

February 01, 2021 01:58PM
Supposed to be under 4 Mil. Mine is 4.1. I think that is a genetic thing because I was told about 15 years ago, it was enlarged but not alarming. I have my records from 2017 and 2019. In 2017, it was 3.9 In 2019 it was 3.8 The Cardiologist said it's not alarming but needs to be watched, especially with my BP being elevated. He gave me a Beta Blocker to help. But everything else was fine n dandy. All my arteries n such are nice n clear.
