Aortic root dilation

Good morning.

I had an MI nearly two weeks ago.

My RCA was completely blocked, and I had an angioplasty inserted. I also have some stenosis of the LAD & LAX. I'm not concerned about any of these, but I did have an echo done before discharge, and was told I have some dilation of the aortic root.

I wondered if anyone else has/had it, and what it could possibly mean for my future, etc.

Thanks in advance for replies.
