Question 2

my cardiologist said my ekg showed a borderline ecg when i went for bariatric surgery clearance - what does that actually mean and is it something to worry about

Accepted Answer

A "borderline ECG" means that the results are not entirely normal but also not clearly abnormal. It may reflect minor, nonspecific changes that aren‚Äôt necessarily serious. In the context of surgery clearance, your cardiologist likely didn‚Äôt find anything concerning enough to delay the procedure but may want to monitor your heart health. It‚Äôs best to follow up if you develop symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath.

Question 3

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?

Accepted Answer

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.
