Είναι σοβαρή η διάμετρος αορτικής ρίζας 4.2cm σε 19χρονο καπνιστή;

Καλησπέρα σας. Είμαι 19 χρονών. Πριν από 4 μήνες τυχαία σε μια ιατρική επίσκεψη βρέθηκε πως η διάμετρος της αορτικής ρίζας μου 4.1cm. Κάναμε και αξονική και βγήκε πως είναι μέγιστο 4.2cm στο επίπεδο των κόλπων του Valsalva. Έχω 1.85 ύψος και είμαι 107 κιλά. Δεν έχω υπέρταση και έχω φυσιολογική βαλβίδα. Απλά καπνίζω εδώ και 3 χρόνια. Τι λέτε είναι σοβαρή η κατάσταση? Γιατί το έχω αυτό? Γιατί με άγχωσε αρκετά

  • Γιατί εχετε μια γενετική αορτοπαθεια για την οποια θα παρακολουθειτε το ρυθμο αυξησης.
    Η ηλικια ειναι μικρή οποτε εχετε αρκετες 10ετιες παρακολουθησης. Πιθανα να εξελιχθεί βραδέως χωρις προβλημα ποτε.
