A dilated aorta, or aortic dilation, occurs when the aorta, the main artery carrying blood from the heart, becomes enlarged. This condition can increase the risk of serious complications, such as aortic aneurysm or dissection. It is important to consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, appropriate diagnostic imaging, and management options tailored to your specific situation. Early intervention can be crucial in preventing potential complications.
worse than normal but as you say mildly dilated. keep up with yearly or every 2 year echocardiograms (with the gel and wand on your chest) to keep up with it... to see if it turns into moderately dilated aorta... then if it gets to severely dilated your Dr. may recommend a surgical intervention
Pediatric cardiologists have a medical background in pediatrics and cardiology. Also, cardiologists tend to address heart disease while pediatric cardiologists are more familiar with congenital issues. See :http://www.thic.com/pediatriccard.htm
According to the Mayo Clinic, surgery for an aortic aneurysm depends on where the aneurysm is and how fast it is growing. If it's a slow growing aneurysm, the doctor might choose to simply wait and see how the aneurysm is progressing as it might not require surgery at all. If it is a fast growing aneurysm, the doctor would prefer to plan a surgery in advance but will perform an emergency surgery if the aneurysm is in danger of bursting.
Yes, it is recommended to see a doctor if you experience dilated pupils after using expired eye drops. Expired eye drops may have lost their effectiveness and could cause adverse reactions. Dilated pupils could be a sign of a serious underlying issue that requires medical attention.

Dilated pupils appear larger than usual, and they do not constrict in response to light. You can check your own pupils by looking in a mirror in a well-lit room. Dilated pupils can be caused by various factors such as drugs, emotions, or medical conditions.
Interventional cardiologists are heart specialists that perform procedures so they make more than doctors who just see patients in the office (such as regular cardiologists). Their salaries vary greatly depending on the setting and procedure volumes but usually are in the $300,000 - 500,000 range.
The better to see that which is frightening you. In emergency situations, you want to be as well informed as possible.

Normally if they act differently(strangely) that's a sign.Or If you get a chance,try to see if they have dilated pupils.
the pulmonary artery i think. u see the aorta's major function is to transport oxygenated blood to all parts of the body. the pulmonary artery transports deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
You are very healthy and your blood is moving well. The aorta is pumping too deeply, you should see a doctor immediately!! Karan Hollman
