Questions on Aortic measurments?

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.
