Is The Condition Of Dilated And Calcified Aorta Serious?
Hi Doctor. I have a concern regarding my Mom's (64 years old) condition. The thing is, seen from her x-ray, she was diagnosed to having DILATED and CALCIFIED AORTA. The Doctor told her that it is expected to people over 65 years old. I'd like to know if it is a serious condition? Thank you so much. Hope to get a response from you.
