Hello,
The CT report is suggestive of normal age related changes in terms of atherosclerotic changes in the aorta. If there are no clinical symptoms as chest pain, exertion induced breathlessness, headache or other features , tread mill test, cholesterol profile and EKG are normal, be rest assured to not worry. Just remain in regular follow up with your doc for periodic assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
