Should I Be Concerned About Enlarged Heart Size And Unfolding Of The Aorta?
I was dignosed with a bicuspid aortic valve which was diagnosed 30 years ago. The condition remains asymptomatic however I noticed a 2008 xray mentioned my heart size was in the upper range of normal and the aorta was slightly unfolded. I am concerned that I have have been on and off dizzy for a couple of weeks. I have no breathlessness.

Hello,
A chest x-ray can not see the heart dimensions as good as cardiac ultrasound can. I recommend you to do a cardiac ultrasound to better see the heart dimensions and aorta too.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
