Hypertension - Aortic Dilation
An Echocardiogram taken two months back showed dilation of Aortic Root and Ascending Aorta ( 45mm ).
Given Metoprolol XR 25 once daily night and Cilacar 10 for morning ( Cilacar has been taking since two years ).
My current blood pressure is in the range of 140/105 ( average ).
Is this to be brought down further? My next consultation is after 3 months.
