aortabasen
Aortabasen is a term used in cardiovascular anatomy and surgery to describe the origin of the aorta from the heart. Specifically, it refers to the aortic root, which is the initial segment of the aorta as it emerges from the left ventricle. This region is critical for the proper functioning of the aortic valve, which controls blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta. The aortic root is a complex anatomical structure that includes the aortic valve annulus, the sinuses of Valsalva, and the sinotubular junction.
The sinuses of Valsalva are slight dilations in the aortic wall just above the aortic valve leaflets.
Disorders affecting the aortabasen can have significant implications for cardiovascular health. Conditions such as aortic aneurysms,
