The Aorta is the body’s main artery that carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. It begins at the left side of the heart and then travels through the chest and abdomen. Clinicians refer to the Aorta in heart and vascular imaging, blood pressure evaluation, and emergency care. Many cardiovascular conditions are defined by where they involve the Aorta and how they affect blood flow.
