About The Heart

The human heart beats around 100,000 times a day, pushing blood through a network of vessels that, laid end to end, would stretch more than 60,000 miles. Four chambers work in precise, coordinated sequence, the two atria receiving blood, the two ventricles driving it forward, while a set of valves ensures every drop moves in only one direction. That quiet, insistent rhythm, felt at the wrist or heard through a stethoscope, is the oldest sound most of us ever knew.
