The heart is a vital, fist-sized muscular organ located slightly on the left side of the chest.
Coronary veins remove oxygen-poor blood.
This data pipe regulates the pace and pattern of heartbeats.
A normal resting heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute.
Pulseis an artery’s palpable expansion and contraction as blood is ejected from the heart during each heartbeat.
It is commonly measured at the wrist’s radial artery or the neck’s carotid artery.
Other Conditions Affecting Heart Function
Some medical conditions can significantly impact heart function and overall cardiovascular health.
Proper diagnosis, treatment, and management are essential to mitigate their effects and improve heart function.
Summary
The heart is the pump that moves blood around your body.
It has four main parts: two upper chambers called atria and two lower chambers called ventricles.
These parts work together to get oxygen-rich blood to your body and oxygen-poor blood back to your heart.
