Excercise with ascending aorta aneurysm
by Jim1965, Oct 17, 2009 09:20AM
I was recently diagnosed with a 4.2 cm ascending aortic aneurysm. It was found during a chest X-Ray for an insurance policy. I am scheduled for a follow up CT scan in six months. I would like to resume playing basketball and light weight lifting but I want to know if this is advisable. My cardiologist said basketball would be fine but stay away from any heavy lifting. I would like a second opinion.
I am 44 years old. 6' 1" and 190lbs. Resting heart rate is 60. Average blood pressure is 110/72. Family history would be a heart attack of my grandfather on my mother side. He passed away at 52 and four of his brothers between 60 and 65.
