The Heart: A Vital Organ

The heart is an organ composed of muscle and hollow inside, located centrally under the sternum, slightly to the left. Its main function is to pump blood, carrying oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body. Normally, the human heart is divided into 4 chambers, with 2 upper chambers and 2 lower chambers. The right side of the heart receives used blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs to receive oxygen. The oxygenated blood then returns to the left side of the heart and is pumped through the arteries to all parts of the body.

The heart is an organ that starts beating from the time it is in the mother’s womb. The heart muscle has special characteristics compared to other muscles, as it can generate its own electrical impulses. These impulses start from the right atrium (Sinus Node) and spread through the conductive cells present throughout the heart, starting from the right atrium to the left atrium and down to the ventricles. When the heart muscle cells are stimulated by these electrical impulses, they contract, causing the heart chambers to squeeze.

Common Heart Disorders

When it comes to heart disease, many people may feel scared because the heart is a very important organ for the body. However, in reality, heart diseases are divided into many types with varying severity. If treated properly and promptly, patients can continue to live a normal life for a long time. Here are some common heart disorders that everyone should be aware of to seek medical attention in time.

• Valvular heart disease: Symptoms include abnormal fatigue, swelling in both legs, inability to lie flat, abdominal bloating, and dizziness.
