Welcome to "Healthy Heart Hub"
Your heart is the engine of your body — it pumps blood, delivers oxygen, and keeps you alive every second of the day. Taking care of your heart is one of the most important things you can do for your health and future.
What is the Heart?
The heart is a muscular organ about the size of a fist. It is located slightly to the left of the center of your chest. The heart pumps blood through a network of arteries and veins, delivering oxygen and nutrients to every part of your body.
Main parts of the heart:
-
Atria (upper chambers): receive blood
-
Ventricles (lower chambers): pump blood out
-
Valves: keep the blood flowing in one direction
-
Arteries and veins: transport blood to and from the heart
