I had an echocardiagram a few months ago and the results came back normal with something that was out of range.

Please bear with me.

I remember it was my aorta size I don't remember the exact number but I remember it was out of range by .1

Example: (this is not accurate) range 1.2 - 2.3

I was 2.4 if my math skills are correct that is 1/10th of a point out of range.

I do remember her saying that it was dealing with my aorta and she said the number indicated bigger than smaller.

I am 31 and I would like to know if it's something for concern.

Thanks.

The normal range for aortic root is 3.3 to 4.4 cm. A .1 differentiation would be 1/10 of a centimeter. A 4.5 would be .1 out of range on the centimeter scale.
