I was diagnosed at birth with a bicuspid valve. I have never had any symptoms with this and have always had an active normal live. 6'2" 180lbs. Last summer I decided to get a CT done since I hadn't in over 10 years. Well I wish I would have done it sooner as my ct discovered an aneurysm of my ascending aorta of 4.

The difference in aortic root sizes is probably related to the different measuring tools used, echo versus CT. When there is a difference between the two, CT is often preferred as its measurements are orthogonal to axis of the vessel being measured. There likely was some distortion of the aortic sinuses with surgery, and this may the cause of the remainder of the difference. More importantly is do you have Marfan's syndrome? Has anyone checked for the presence of the phenotype?

ARBs are a class of drugs that have been clinically proven to halt and even reverse aortic root dilatation in humans. They include valsartan, telmisartan, and other drugs that end in -sartan. The key is to take a high enough dosage - for most people, this is about the maximum FDA-approved dose. In particularly large people, the required dose may be higher. You should quickly find a cardiologist who is knowledgeable about connective tissue disease and ARB therapy.

But I remember that you mentioned your doctor prscribing some ARB medication (losartan or valsartan) to halt liver fibrosis. This could be an important factor in your results. I wonder if there is any chance that you do not have cirrhosis. After my husband's experience with "golden standard" nothing would surprize me, and I sincerely wish this for you. What if during biopsy they just picked the piece that had a lot of damage?
