Respected Sir
Thanks for your query to us.
Your query does not detail that what is the most probable cause of aortic root enlargement in your case neither it tells if there is associated aortic regurgitation.
However in general, if you have high blood pressure, a good control of blood pressure helps is prevention of rapid enlargement of aortic root. In cases of cystic medial degeneration, a beta-blocker usually help.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely
