Hi guys. I feel like someone will have some insight for me on this. I have been diagnosed with a dilated aorta (4.8 cm), and I had a calcium score that is high (800+ total and one vessel is over 500 and another over 300). I wonder if anyone has had experience with this type of heart diagnosis and what I have to look forward to. I had an echocardiogram, that identified the aorta, then a stress test that I did well on, and a calcium scoring test. The stress test was good but the other two have shown issues.
I've changed my diet substantially, quit smoking, I'm pretty active already, I'm not overweight taking a statin to control my ldl and a beta blocker to control BP. Tell me what you know, please.
Thanks,
Justin
Where are you being treated?
