A wide aorta, also referred to as a dilated aorta, is a condition where the aorta, the body's largest artery, becomes enlarged or widened beyond its normal diameter. This can occur due to various factors, including hypertension, atherosclerosis, or genetic conditions such as Marfan syndrome. An enlarged aorta can increase the risk of serious complications, such as aortic dissection or rupture, necessitating careful monitoring and potential surgical intervention. Regular imaging studies are often used to assess the size and condition of the aorta in affected individuals.
