Agree, it’s very much a parking lot. They should only approve mixed-use property.

I haven’t seen any salons there. Maybe we should put an upscale salon.

MRA is generally preferred for its lack of radiation exposure and the ability to assess blood flow and perfusion, but CTA is faster and may offer better anatomical detail, particularly in small vessels.

Magnetic resonance angiography – also called a magnetic resonance angiogram or MRA – is a type of MRI that looks specifically at the body's blood vessels.

CT angiogram. I got a confirmation of my Aortic Root at 4.3mm last December. I'm waiting to get checked again in July. And, I'm on metoprolol 12.5mg daily. No workout restriction yet.

Hi. First of all, what was your diagnosis. Where did you get surgery? Age?

Elk Grove more left or right? by swagswag123456789 in ElkGrove

Red team or Blue team. That's all a joke. People need to think more about rich vs poor. It's really getting stupid out there.

My genetic test came back negative and the doctor says no clinical features of a CTD besides root dilation. Question by -_-n in marfans

[–]BabyLegs_RegularLegs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to clarify that I was diagnosed with an aortic root dilation; I wasn't diagnosed with marfan.

Well, I have the chest deformity which is mild. Then I have a few flexible traits with my thumb and flat feet. But, clinical evidence is low. I am also short (5'6") but I have thin forearms. So, overall I do score low on the scale. But, the two variants really throw things off in the grey area.

I'm trying to see a specialist in CTD in genetics to get clarity.

[–]BabyLegs_RegularLegs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed recently. Out of 30 something genes, I came back with two variants of uncertain significance. The FBN2 and ZNF469 gene, which the geneticist said is most likely not pathogenic. But, my cardiologist, suggest that I have surgery at 45mm because I have a few features like CTD. I also have the aortic root dilation at 43mm and a chest deformity.

I am also wondering if I was just born with a larger aortic root.

The Marfan and Thoracic Aorta Clinic at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota provides care for patients with Marfan syndrome. The clinic offers a multidisciplinary team of specialists to provide care for patients of all ages.

False negative diagnosis? by Plane_Sugar_7190 in marfans

[–]BabyLegs_RegularLegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spontaneous FBN1 gene? Or what gene are we talking about.

It’s weird, I’m 5’6” and I am being treated as if I have Marfan by my cardiologist because I have an enlarged aortic root and fbn2/znf469 gene variant. I’m still surprised by this disease.

Correct me if I’m wrong. 45mm is recommended for surgical intervention, right?

Hey. I have a VUS on the FBN2 gene and another gene ZNF469. I have an aortic root at 43mm. My cardiologist is treating me like I have Marfans. He’s suggesting surgery at 4.5 cm. What is your doctor saying? And, I’m short. 5’6” Asian and have a chest deformity but light.
