What is the base of the heart?
Posterior and superior surface of the heart
The base of the heart is the flat top part of the heart which is located at the upper end of the heart. It is close to the great vessels such as the aorta, vena cavae, and pulmonary veins, which enter and exit the heart. The base of the heart is also the site of attachment for the major vessels and the pericardium, which is a protective membrane that surrounds and supports the heart. The base of the heart is opposite to the apex, which is the pointed bottom part of the heart that rests on the diaphragm.
