Is right shift of the aorta normal?

We all know the importance of a person's pulse. In many cases, problems with the pulse mean that the person's life is threatened. To prevent this problem from happening, we need to do a lot of work, that is, pay more attention to observing changes in our body, avoid doing strenuous physical exercise, and it is best to have healthy living habits. So is it normal for the aorta to shift to the right in the body? Few people pay attention to this issue, so we need to understand it in detail.

Ascending aorta: left and right coronary arteries.

Branches on the concave side of the aortic arch: small bronchial branches and tracheal branches. Branches on the convex side of the aortic arch: from right to left, there are three major branches, the brachiocephalic trunk, the left common carotid artery, and the left subclavian artery. Among them, the brachiocephalic trunk is divided into the right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery behind the right sternoclavicular joint.

It is the main artery of the systemic circulation and can be divided into three parts according to its course: the ascending aorta (ascending aorta), the aortic arch and the descending aorta (descending aorta). The ascending part of the aorta originates from the aortic orifice of the left ventricle, runs obliquely to the right front and upper side, and continues to the aortic arch. The left and right coronary arteries arise from the root of the ascending aorta.

The aortic arch connects to the ascending aorta, bends to the left and rear behind the manubrium of the sternum, and transitions to the descending aorta. Three large branches emerge from the convex side of the aortic arch, namely, from right to left, the brachiocephalic trunk (innominate artery), the left common carotid artery, and the left subclavian artery. The brachiocephalic trunk runs obliquely to the upper right and divides into the right common carotid artery and the right subclavian artery behind the right sternoclavicular joint.

(3) The descending aorta is the longest section of the aorta. It is connected to the aortic arch and descends along the front of the thoracic vertebrae through the aortic hiatus of the septum to enter the abdominal cavity. It then descends along the front of the lumbar vertebrae and divides into the left and right common iliac arteries at the fourth lumbar vertebra. The descending part of the aorta is divided by the aortic hiatus. The section above the aortic hiatus is called the thoracic aorta (thoracic aorta), and the section below is called the abdominal aorta (abdominal aorta).

The above is an introduction to some normal situations due to right shift of the aorta. According to the above content, we know that this is an abnormal situation because such a problem is caused by bad living habits. Improving the diet structure is the most important thing, and you should also pay attention to the time and method of exercise. There are many details in life that require our attention.
