The heart is a muscular organ found in all vertebrates that is responsible
for pumping blood throughout the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions. The term cardiac (as in cardiology) means "related to the
heart" and comes from the Greek καρδιά, kardia, for "heart.”
From the moment it begins beating until the moment it stops, the human heart works tirelessly. In an average lifetime, the heart beats more than two and a half billion times, without ever pausing to rest. Like a pumping machine, the heart provides the power needed for life.
There are many types of heart diseases. Common among is the Coronary heart disease. Coronary artery disease is a disease of the artery caused by the accumulation of atheromatous plaques within the walls of the arteries
that supply the myocardium. Angina pectoris (chest pain) and myocardial infarction (heart attack) are symptoms of and conditions caused by
coronary heart disease. |
