Trachea is in superior to the heart. It divides into two branches in back of (posterior to) the upper part of the heart; in other words, the heart is anterior and inferior to the trachea. Both are medial; neither is lateral to the other.
___________________________________________________
Here's what I think the above means.
The trachea is above the heart (nearer the head). The heart is in front of and below the trachea (nearer the waist). Both are in the center of the chest left to right, they are not beside each other left to right.
