I am a 22 yarse old man in my echogrphy i see that my aortic root diammeter is less by 3cm(19cm) from the normale persone (22-36cm) so please i need to know its side effect?, how it is corrected? and so on.
Normal or expected range for an aorta root is 2.0 - 3.7 cm or 20mm - 37mm. A narrow aorta opening (orifice) is medically referred to stenosis. Usually stenosis is the result of calcification, and if considered serious the valve can be repaired or replaced. The 1.9 cm may not cause any problems, but if there develops a problem the left ventricle can enlarge due to the gradient pressure.
