enlarged aortic root

Hi, I have a question about my Echo results from last fall.
I (32 years old) have a bicuspid aortic valve with mild reguritation.
I also have MVP with no reguritation. The aortic valve opens fully
3cm**2, and the heart has normal size and contractiblity according
to the echo report. I do have a mildly enlarged aortic root of 4.2 cm
however (it has been enlarged since I started echo's 8
years ago). Is there anything I need to be concerned about with the
enlarged aortic root? Also is this a frequent occurrance with
bicuspid aortic valves? Any causes for this?
Thanks
Daniel
