I am 33. Have history of hypertension. Now diagnosed with Moderately enlarged LV, Ectatic aorta 3.4cm. Explain? -

Moderately hypertrophied LV and Moderately enlarged LV wall thickness with Ectatic aorta 3.4 cm diameter. I exercise atleast 20 minutes a day. No chest pain or other symptoms...

The high BP has mildly enlarged part of your heart. The aorta (main artery from the heart) is slightly enlarged. Almost to the point of an aneurysm. This sounds like an echocardiogram report, so I m guessing the aorta is in the chest. It wouldn t hurt to hook into a vascular surgeon who can monitor the aorta.
