Aortic pressure refers to the blood pressure within the aorta, the main artery that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. This pressure is an important measure of cardiovascular health and can indicate the efficiency of the heart and the resistance of the blood vessels. Aortic pressure is typically measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and is expressed as two values: systolic and diastolic pressure.
