I was told that I have an ascending aortic aneryism that is 4.5 cm and I have 3 leaky heart valves. My regular cardioligist told me not to worry, I have cardiac mri's every year to monitor these things, I only go to see him 2 times a year. The last time I went, I had his PA, instead of him, she told me with all of these these, that I should not lift more than 50 pounds. I have been going to this cardioligist since 2004. he never told me that I have a weight restriction, but his PA, said I had… read more

@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member I am so glad you liked the video. It is a lot to digest and that is the best part about videos you can listen over and over. Hugs🤗
Interesting…..
I am 18 months removed from open heart surgery with aortic valve replacement and 2 aortic anuryseum repairs. Blood pressure medicine I take, I can walk 12 miles daily and have no shortness of breath, I do have a constant pain in my chest that cardiologist says is pressure from being over weight. The recent racing heart rate and passing out is concerning, wearing heart monitor for a week, no history of AFIB. IF anyone has had similar problem please share your experience.
Take care
Thats quite an answer, thanks
Just had third myocardial infarction. Wondering about experiences of others with heart aneurysms. Symptoms, treatments etc.
Sglt2 inhibitors can cause this problem. Farxiga is a common one. Aka dapagliflozin
I am at 4.2 centimeters. Doctor said if it gets over 5.0 we'll talk options, most likely another open heart surgery. Until, we'll monitor it yearly. Not what I wanted to hear.
Aim to keep your average blood pressure at 110/70. I've had measurements as large as 4.5 cm. I was diagnosed with an aortic root aneurysm in 2017 by CT Scan with contrast. Grateful to report that God… read more
