Questions on Aortic measurments?
by thepurselady, May 11, 2008 01:36PM
Dear Dr,
I am trying to locate a place on the internet that can give me some "typical" measurments for the following
AV Annulus
Aortic Sinus
Sino-Tubular Junction
Ascending Aorta
I have my echo here and it states all in normal ranges but it would put my mind at east to have a reference to compare them to.
I can give you the measurments also for your opinion. I am a 39yr old female. Relatively good health but found I have a MVP with 1+ regurg. Also if I may throw in one last question - what are your thoughts on this MVP? I see a cardio in a month but of course the mind is sort of racing and concerned with the above
p.s. here are my actual echo readings
AV annulus cm - 2.3
Aortic sinus CM - 3.1
Sinu tupular junction (cm) 2.3
Ascending Aorta (cm) 2.5
Thanks in advance for your time

You have absolutely normal range of measurements:
normal Aortic sinuses is less than 3.7 cm, ascending aorta < 3.5 cm. The ST junction is also of normal caliber give that it is less than 3.5 cm.
