What does AORTIC mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medical
Relating to the aorta, the main artery that carries blood away from the heart.
Aortic turns up whenever a doctor needs to point at the aorta specifically rather than the heart in general, as in aortic valve or aortic aneurysm. The aorta is the largest artery in the body, so damage or disease described as aortic tends to be serious and closely monitored. Surgeons and cardiologists use the word constantly because so many conditions are named by which vessel or valve they affect. The plain noun aorta comes from Greek, and aortic is simply its standard adjective form.
