>>A single ultra scan with an all clear result means that you are not required to take another test for the rest of your life.
Mine must be OK then. I had a screen about 5 years ago. In the four years since then I must have had half a dozen echocardiograms. With those it seems the norm to check the aorta at the same time.
Apparently a normal aorta at the point they look at it is about 20mm. If it's more than 30mm they start monitoring. Easy to see why you don't want that to pop. If you're 65+ and haven't had one, definitely request it.
