It begins at the left ventricle, just beyond the aortic valve, and carries oxygen-rich blood upward from the heart. Clinicians refer to it frequently when evaluating chest symptoms, heart valve disease, and conditions that weaken the aortic wall. It is commonly assessed in cardiology imaging and in planning cardiovascular surgery."}
