I'm trying to figure out if there's a connection between height and the size of the ascending aorta. Like, for someone who's 6 feet tall and weighs 74 kg, what would be considered a normal size for the ascending aorta? Is there a direct link between these measurements?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a 6 ft person weighing 74kg, the normal ascending aorta size is typically around 2.1 to 3.7 cm in diameter. There is a weak positive correlation between height and ascending aorta diameter, meaning that taller individuals may have slightly larger ascending aortas. However, this correlation is not strong enough to be used as a reliable predictor of aorta size.

I'm experiencing this weird chest and left arm discomfort whenever I hear music with strong vibrations. It's been happening a lot lately, and I'm also feeling short of breath with some chest pain. I've had tests on my heart and lungs, and everything came back normal. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. Since your heart and lung tests are normal, it's important to manage your symptoms. I recommend taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) daily to help prevent blood clots and improve blood flow. Additionally, you can try using nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain relief. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
